Learning a Second Language | Students with LD - NCLD

Of particular interest to me as I think of Math as a second language.  Many of the suggestions for making this successful are quite similar to the kinds of things we try to do for our student in their Math classes.

Top Ten Free and Cheap Apps for Math!

I've been wanting to get this out for some time.  Finally here it is ...

In addition to a google search for "math apps for iPad" ... these are my "top 10 free and inexpensive apps for math".

In no particular order ...

1. Math Tappers - there are actually 7 different apps that are associated with this suite of visual / interactive fact and skill practice games

2. Addition Blocks - a fairly addictive game of basic addition facts

3. Factor Samurai - slash the prime numbers only!

4. Montessori - some cost a little more than other games, but these are all good - my 2 favs are sequencing and place value

5. Zoom - not the TV show you remember for our childhood - this is about sequencing and scale

6. Everyday Math - also a suite of 5 games (number sequencing, addition, multiplication, divisibility, and fractions)

7. Singapore Math - another suite of apps - some by grade level focused on bar modeling for word problems - best one is RocketSolver - don't bother with the grade 6!

8. ShutoutHD - this is the iPad version of "Shut the Box"

9. Monkey Math - standard favorite - just what it sounds like - early skills for young ones

10. Glow Burst - pop bubbles in sequence, but theres a little more to it ...
