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

Fractions

This app is great for creating visual representations of “Singapore math style” word problems. There are also self-guided lessons and tutorials that are a great option for extending learning for those students who would benefit from extra activities

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.

FLIPQUIZ

FLIPQUIZ is a resource for making Jeopardy-style games. It doesn’t link you to student responses, in the same way, some of the other platforms like Kahoot or Quizlet do, but it is a good option to have on hand, particularly for students that want to use this as a component to a presented lesson.
