Math Slide 1000 App
This iPad app is a math game that teaches hundreds, tens, and ones. This app was used at my school for a Grade 9/10 Locally Developed Math class in conjunction with place value and base ten block manipulatives, but could probably be used with younger students as well. The app is essentially a game that up to four students can play on the same device as long as they sit around the iPad (see screenshot below). It is a race to match the number to the description and slide the card to the centre of the board. This app could be used as consolidation after a lesson since there is no tutorial or information about place value in the app. The purpose of the game is to be the first player to get rid of all of your cards since only the first person in actually loses their card with each clue. The game was engaging for the students and they enjoyed it the most playing with only two players so they could sit across from each other. They also really enjoyed playing against, and beating, the adults in the room as they got more confident with their abilities.
