Educational Applications used to teach Math Concepts, Math Skills, & Problem Solving

As I have mentioned in my previous blogs, there are an abundance of educational applications available for teachers to use as resources to assist students in Math. This blog focuses on apps that can be used to help teach and support math concepts, math skills, and problem solving. Keep in mind, there are so many ones that I have only provided just a few. If you would like more information on all of the different types of tools out there for assisting with these skills alone, please feel free to check out the textbook, Assistive Technology in the Classroom: Enhancing the School Experiences of Students with Disabilities.  

Some apps include but aren't limited too:

1.) Internet 4 Classrooms (http://www.internet4classrooms.com)- a FREE web portal that is designed to assist anyone who wants to find high-quality, free internet resources to use during classroom instruction. They can reinforce specific subject matter areas at home. 

2.) Math Playground-provides a wealth of resources to support learning math concepts, skills, and problem solving. 

3.) Conceptual Math-focuses on fractions and offers a variety of tools for teachers to use to enhance their whole class instruction.
