Thanks Tom, I'll check it out for sure. If you come across any other worth while apps let me know.

Hi Jamie - what age group?

Khan Academy has a website and an app (Algebra 1) that is GREAT!!

A website that allows students to work at their own pace and sends you (and parents) "report cards" is:

www.tenmarks.com

 

A list of others I have used in class (6th & 7th Grade)

DiaMath - basic algebra function

Math Tour - basic math with a little added Geography

Pizza Fraction - fractions with pizza - go figure! ;-)

Slice It - fractions

Factor Factory - factoring

Flashcards Pro - allows you to create sets of flashcards online for the students to use for review on their itouch or ipad

FlowMath - multiplication

Fraction Factory

Freddie Fraction

Math Knack Genius - basic math functions

Motion Math - fractions, decimals, percents

Pearl Diver - fractions

Picturing Fractions

Pop Math Basic - very basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division

 

These are just some that my kids really enjoyed playing.

Check into Ten Marks though... it is a GREAT program and still FREE for teachers!!

Regards

~Candace

Thanks Candace for all your suggestions. The age group I teach is high school so 15-18 year olds. Practicing with fractions is a major concern of mine. Too often my students ask if they can use a decimal instead. However, sometimes the fraction is actually easier. Thanks again for you list.
