Apps for Math That Go Beyond the iPad

I resisted the urge to post on April 1st thinking it would be taken as another April Fools joke. (Not that I'm above doing that, it just wasn't my purpose this time.)  Today, I am sharing about some virtual math tools that go beyond one device. They are not locked into needing an iPad or other tablet, but can also be used on computers, laptops, and smartphones as well.



Even though my examples will come mainly from The Math Learning Center, this is not a plug for one particular company's apps because there are many others that work across devices the same way. Some other "device agnostic" tools can be found from NearPod, Kahoot, Socrative, Worldbook Online*, DiscoveryEducation*, ReWordify, PebbleGo*, and more. 

To find the Math Learning Centers apps, you can either go to their main website, click on the "Resources" link, and then click "Free Apps" in the blue box or follow this direct link, http://catalog.mathlearningcenter.org/apps .

*Paid subscription required for these tools.
