Smart Apps For Kids

Middle School Math Pro 7th Grade

 

Bottom Line:  More fun than page after page of worksheets.

 

4th Grade Math: Splash Math Worksheets - Review

 

 

Bottom Line: It's not cheap, but it's very well-done and an entire fourth grade math curriculum in one app.

 

Match-Up Math

 

 

In Match-Up Math, children must match tiles with equal values in order to make them disappear. For example, 2+2 can be matched with a tile that says 4 or one that says 3+1.

When all the tiles are cleared, the player moves on to the next level. The difficulty increases as the player progresses and the backgrounds of the boards change, which gives the player a nice sense of progression. Someone in iTunes described it as "Mahjong Math." (I've never played Mahjong.)

Rocket Math

 

 

Bottom Line: A ton of depth, a low price, and a great example of how to blur the line between education and game.
