Find Sums

So Simple But So Effective and Useful

Some apps try to cover everything, some try to cover many things. Find Sums has 1 simple mathematical objective. Quite simply Find Sums gets the students to work on their simple number grouping knowledge in a quick and fun way. It can be used in a group, in stations or as a great app at home for the individual. I have used Find Sums within the ages of 3 and 11 but it is fun enough to be used by teenagers as mental revision. 

Find Sums may be an app you haven't come across because it is only in the phone apps area of the App store but install it, 2x it and have a ball.

Find Sums is $Free

The grouping choices offered to the user as you can see fractions can be used.	The game screen where the user attempts to match the number groups to meet totals

Teach Me

Perhaps the best educational tool yet I am going to go out on a limb right now. This is perhaps the best learning tool I have come across for any child 2 to 10 years old. It is simple, easy to navigate, pretty, motivational and most of all educational. Teach me offers from toddler to year 3 levels that progress at a good pace but accordingly adjust the motivational tools well, It motivates and keeps interest well by giving small rewards every 3 correct questions and major reward options about every 15 questions. This has been a good App option for our teacher support staff iPad program, working with special need and negotiated education plan students. The students all look forward to their time at the end of sessions when they can do their ‘iPad school’. It has also been a great app for my sons (3 and 5) who both engage to their level in different ways but find the complete enjoyment in it. Only 2 days ago my son came yelling down the hall to tell me he had achieved a merit and star for addition. I was lucky enough to get these apps when they were free but would gladly pay the small $1.99 fee they now ask .  $1.99 each (6 in series)
Fun and engaging ways to complete math and literacy tasks	Eye catching and personable rewards pages that progress through the years	Easy to use multiple accounts with photos	Progress screens that clearly show achievements and next level progress information
	Simple video that shows Teach Me.  Be aware that it now has an English teacher too.

Idoceo: Assess Appy!!

 

iDoceo - Assessment made easy and portable

This the first App to really help create an educational change in my school. Teachers took to iDoceo quickly and very easily. Although a spreadsheet savvy person could easily do most of what iDoceo offers, it does do it in a very pretty and well structured way. It also offers some cool little added party tricks to meet the needs of most teachers. 

Along with being clear and easy to navigate, iDoceo can store important personal information, show seating arrangements, do random student picks and export all data to Dropbox fairly easily.

Worth a look.

Cost - AU$6.49
