Maths Facts: Number Bonds

Maths Facts: Number Bonds offers a good introduction to the concept of number bonding (while building the scaffolding for future work with bigger fact families). The multi-sensory approach that has young learners dragging numbers to complete a bond helps reinforce their building number sense. This app is particularly strong in the way it pairs with the Singapore Math curriculum familiar to students in schools that incorporate this curriculum

Mathmateer

This is a fun game style enrichment app that allows students the chance to design rockets while solving math problems. There are also elements of physics and symmetry that are reinforced. It is mostly geared towards JK-2nd grade students. It can be adjusted per student to reach their level. Students can occasionally become too attracted to the “side features” of designing their rocket, so it is important to emphasize the focus on the math.
