A Set of Excellent iPhone Math Apps for the Older Child | GeekDad | Wired.com - 0 views

  • These are the addition problems and method we all learned in school.
  • This app has you adding from left to right instead of starting in the ones place, which goes against everything I learned.

      "against everything I learne"...that's cuz we teach it wrong!!
  • This one is unusual, dividing up some of the numbers into their parts (whole ones, whole tens, etc.), and subtracting the parts.

  • it teaches you to subtract the tens place first, and then subtract the ones place. But in the ones place you end up with a negative number.

      Hmm, subtracting left to right ? Like we read? What a novel idea!!
  • It makes multiplying large numbers easier, and allows you to see it all visually.

Larry Ferlazzo's Websites of the Day… - The Best MATH Sites That Students Can... - 0 views

  • Ten Marks is one that focuses on math. A colleague of mine really liked it, although I have not registered my own students before. Another for both ELA & math assessments is Easy CBM.
  • Sokikom.com has a free component for number sense- fractions/decimals/prevents – that is very well developed, adaptive, and includes video tutorials. My students love it! They also have several components that one could pay to add on.
  • One site that I’ve found to be quite beneficial is ThatQuiz.org. Toying around has found quite a variety of items to introduce and review with the students, and it catalogs quite a bit of data, making it easy to pinpoint individual problems, as well as class issues with specific math concepts.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • In the past I have used Tutpop to register a whole class and track the progress they make with math through games played with each other as well as students from around the world! There are different levels, but it is aimed at elementary. I can’t remember who first told me about this site, but I like it.
  • I love xtramath.org. It is a free site that helps kids master their math facts. Initially, the student takes an assessment quiz of what they already have mastered as indicated by a response of 3 seconds or less. Each consecutive session is based on the outcome of the previous assessments. It takes about 5 minutes a day, provides corrective feedback, visuals for goal setting, and can be used for the whole class or set up at home by a parent.
  • Study Ladder. It has impressive literacy, science and math interactives, and teachers can set-up “classrooms” to keep track of student work. Plus, it’s free!
