Great blog from a high school math teacher integrating iPads.

Video presenation by John Spender (50 minutes) on using iPads for paperless math.

Designed for 1st-2nd grade students, Murky Reef combines reading and math skills in the context of exploring a coral reef. This is the free version, though there is a more robust version available for $3.99. Students can review numbers, sight words, and vocabulary. There is some reporting built in.

Great blog post with examples of using iOS with math - and incorporating physical and digital.

Great list of apps from an elementary math workshop.

Great post from Chris Harrow about using AirSketch in math classes.

List of Math iPad apps

Great math activity with or without stories. Have students graph the story.

This new math game from Scholastic lets students practice addition and multiplication in a fun environment. Students can test both their speed as well as their accuracy.

Great post about creating math books to introduce problem solving.

iMathGenius provides game-based practice for math facts at K-12 levels as well as for the SAT.

This app supports math instruction by providing students with an opportunity to have virtual manipulatives similar to the blocks frequently used in classrooms.

"Mathtoons Media creates high level math learning tools that use wacky animation, humour and music. The Mathtoons Log App helps students learn how to change between exponential and logarithmic forms of an equation with the animated guidance of Captain Calculator and his assistant, Corporal MiniCalc."

This is the math app that has been featured in numerous iPad commercials. It is a great product for arithmetic drills and includes problems for addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

ABCya.com makes great elementary web games, and this looks to be a great app. Students can use virtual manipulatives to help them solve math problems.

I sent this link to Chris Harrow, a colleague who teaches math at The Westminster School in Atlanta. Here are his first impressions: Cool = very smooth functionality on the iPad, you can do all the explorations in the most excellent iPad touchscreen environment, a very tactile approach to learning geometry. Frustrating = you have to create the docs elsewhere, on first exploration, I don't see a way to do constructions directly in this app. If a kid gets a good idea that requires additional "stuff" on the construction, s/he may not be able to instantly follow up on intuition. Any one else want to weigh in?

Popplet + Number Pieces Basic app smash - great example for elementary math.
