This tool enables K-6 students to build visual models of word problems. There are hundreds of built-in math problems covering thirty-six different categories. Videos explain how to model each problem type. The full screen feature makes this application compatible with interactive white boards.
Students in grades 4+ practice reflections, tranlations, and rotations. Students use drag and drop blocks to create one or several transformations. They may experiment creatively or test their knowledge by predicting the transformed shape. A companion game can also be found on the site.
Math Apprentice answers the question that is on the minds of most math students: When are we ever going to use math in the real world? This rich, multimedia site provides students an opportunity to try various professions that use math. Students can be scientists, engineers, computer animators, video game programmers, and more.
Math Apprentice provides areas of free exploration as well as specific problems to solve.
Students explore symmetry, translations, and rotations, solve algebra puzzles, practice addition and subtraction with integers, and investigate linear functions and graphs.
