Hands on Math: Hundreds Chart - An App We Love

Sharing some of our recent math - It's been REALLY busy & we have been wanting to share these things!

Recently I discovered the app Hands on Math: Hundreds Cart


It's $1.99 in the app store, and is only compatible with the iPad. First grade mathematicians are loving this new too! 



Students can use different colors to highlight, check, circle, box, cover or cross out numbers. There is even a feature that will read the numbers that students touch. This math manipulative app is my favorite type of app! It allows students to make their thinking visible and can bring number patterns to life!

After students had some time to build number patterns, they too screen shots and used the Educreations app to add an explanation of their thinking to the picture! How cool right?!

Here are a few of our examples:





This app would be a great tool to use at home for so many math concepts - composing & decomposing numbers, showing patterns, playing missing numbers (more on that to come when we get back in school!) and much more!
