Apps for Math

There are lots of fun apps for learning or practicing math.  Let's dive right in with some of my favorites in no particular order!

 Base Ten Bingo
(currently $1.99)
Base Ten Bingo is a great way to practice visualizing numbers and be ready for first grade math.  I love how it's differentiated, too.  This app is part of ABCya.com's family of apps, so if you and your child like this one, maybe you'll find others you like as well.  


(currently free)
Everyday Math is our math curriculum for Carmel Elementary, so any EDM apps would be great.  Beat the Computer is one of my favorites because who doesn't want to be smarter than a computer?


 Math Seeds for Kindergarten
(either $7.99 or there is a free version)
Truth be told I don't remember if I have the paid version or the free version, but this is one of my favorite math apps for kindergarten.  Why?  It's because of the variety of math skills offered.  Typically apps for kindergarten math focus on number sense or computation, but Math Seeds has activities for practice in measurement, money, data, fractions, grouping, sharing, and more!


(currently free)
This app seems engaging to many kindergartners. Check out the daily challenges.


Top-It (for Everday Math)
(currently free)
Another Everyday Math app . . .  easy way to practice addition.

As always, I recommend that you check out the app first before you give it to your child.  A website I like using as a mom to check and see if media is appropriate for my own sons is commonsensemedia.org.
