IPADS for the Math Classroom

It has been interesting implementing the IPADS. I was very hesitant initially not knowing how and what exactly it was that I wanted to do.  I had learned about different ideas of apps we could use during the summer. However, I wanted something that could really help me complement/supplement the instruction provided daily.  I was looking for something that would be more specific to use with math.  At the CAMT conference, I learned about some apps that could be easily integrated in my daily teachings.  Some I have already explored and used with the students, and others I still plan to use during this school year.   You can read more about each of them at the Math Learning Center webpage: http://catalog.mathlearningcenter.org/apps. These apps feel a lot like manipulatives, yet they are so much more than that.  In that page you can find a description and an explanation of each app.

 

 

 

Here you can see the students using Number Pieces Basic to learn about decimals:

 

Just today they were using Number Pieces to multiply using the distributive property.  

  

 

The kids have enjoyed using them so far.
