Smart Apps For Kids

Blast into space with My First 10monkeys Math App to practice seven skill areas

 

 

Bottom Line:  Cute monkeys in outer space present beginning math practice for young children. With seven different skills to practice, this app provides a decent baseline of beginning math skills. It is easy to navigate, but there are no directions read aloud or samples given, so grown-up guidance will be needed for kids to use the app appropriately. As a first math app for children five and under, it does not allow for much independence in tasks.

Indiana jumped on board the CCSS train quite early, and my district fully implemented in my school last year (grades K-4). This list, then, brings you some of the best apps I’ve seen for use with the CCSS in math. My focus is on the primary level, but I’ve also included some apps that I know are good for upper levels, too. Read on to start planning!
