Teaching Math Concepts, Skills, and Problem Solving Using Educational Apps

This blog succinctly dovetails an earlier blog addressing automaticity and math fact fluency. The following apps are designed to develop a student's knowledge of mathematical concepts, math skills, and their ability to problem solve.

-     National Library of Virtual Manipulatives (VP)

-     Illuminations (Online activities)

-     Computing Technology for Math Excellence (More VPs) 

-     Internet 4 Classrooms (High-quality resources)

-     Virtual Laboratories in Probability and Statistics

-     Math Playground (Free, online math activities)

-     Conceptua Math (Fractions)

-     Destination Math (Math reasoning and conceptual 
      understanding)


Of all the listed apps, Illuminations was the one that grabbed my attention. Mathematics has always been my Achille's heel, Illuminations makes it fun and easy!
