Ipads in the Classroom

I told you I would forget some apps. that  I use for Language Arts!  I forgot some of my favorite apps from my favorite store! Lakeshore!

Lakeshore Learning has some really great games the students can use for practice, which leads me into my blog for today, Math.  Lakeshore Learning has some great Math apps, as well.  Here are a few that I love!

Phonics Tic Tac Toe (FREE!)

Language Adventures Game Show

All About the Alphabet

Beginning Sounds Match

Math Quiz Game Show 1st-3rd

Math Quiz Game Show 4th-6th

 Another set of apps that I use for Language and Math are by Kevin Bradford.  These apps are grade level specific.  They have games for students to play to practice hard to learn skills.  I use 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade in my classroom because they all work on different skills.

2nd Grade

Fourth Grade

Third Grade

Do you remember Education Galaxy that I mentioned last week?  Well, they have a math app. that I use for tier 2 groups and for assessment pieces.  It cuts the paperwork in half!

Drill and Practice with Teacher Record Keeping

All that I have mentioned thus far has been for practice.  Let's move to the creating piece.  Clarity Innovations, (The Math Learning Center) has many apps that are free.  The first one is a creating app.  It is a geoboard.  In my classroom, I had the students create shapes on the geoboard according to the different attributes I would call out.  For example, I would tell the small group to create a shape with at least one obtuse angle.  The students had to make the shape, take a screen shot, and air drop it to me! 

FREE

Check out that page.  There are a lot of FREE math apps where the students can manipulate and learn!

Another great lesson for creating in math is with the tangram app.  My son's teacher uses this in her classroom.  Dalton had to create a picture using the shapes she told him to use, take a screen shot, and air drop it to his teacher.  I was so impressed that my first grader did all this!!!

As usual, I am sure I will think of more Math apps. that I use!  If I do, I will add them to the blog for next week.  

As promised, here is the FREEBIE of the WEEK!  Since this blog focused on Math, I decided to give away a Math FREEBIE!
Here is a sample from my Fractions Candy Bar Unit!  My class loved using candy bars to practice fractions.  We compared fractions, talked about equivalences, and even ate candy bars!  The FREEBIE is a printable from the packet that practices comparing fractions   I hope you enjoy it!
