Things that I thought I would continue to do once I started teaching: blog.
Things that I don’t do know that I started teaching: blog… sleep…
I really wish I could get into the good practice of blogging more often, so today I have decided to talk about apps. In university I thought I had found all the most wonderful apps that are amazing and useful. Yesterday I deleted 100 apps. Today, I took a moment to realize how many apps I have downloaded since school has begun, and how I found apps that fit to supplement what I was teaching. As I teach a course that requires curriculum outcomes that relate to games, I have found apps that work in each of my units. Let me take a quick second to recognize the apps that I adore.
Crossmath! – This $0.99 game has been used more than anything on my phone. It works for teaching factoring, balancing equations, deductive reasoning… and also when you are really bored.
Hexominoes – This app works for shape and space as well as logic! It costs $0.99
Rush Hour – All of my students love rush hour. I even have a physical copy of the board game. Working in groups really is helpful as they communicate hundreds of strategies. Cost is $2.99.
Flow Free – This game is great for shape and space as well as logic, it is also FREE!
Tangram XL Free – Works for shape and space units, deductive reasoning, and is Free!
Vault Breaker – Tests your logic and deductive reasoning skills to crack codes. It’s free and fun.
Battleship – Used this for review for graphs, plotting points, ordered pairs, deductive reasoning and strategy. You can play against a computer, over Wi-Fi with another device, or pass and play. It is free.
CribbagePro – Need I say more? Oh right, it is free!
And lastly, I had this app downloaded forever and not once had I used it or even thought about it. Then I taught Pre-Calculus and I understood why it is a must have.
These are just a few of the math apps that I have been using in my classroom, and felt like I needed to share them now that I am actually using mobile learning.
