iPad Apps - High School

Locating math apps for the high school can be rather difficult with such a variety of math classes and the fact that most of the high school math apps feature very little on the engaging game side, but rather focus strictly on practicing math problems on a topic. I have come across a couple math apps worthy of discussing and sharing.

Math Formulas - Reference Guide: This app provides a list of nearly 100 different formulas in 1 easy place that can be sorted and used in class on an as needed basis. I am mentioning this app as I feel that students being able to determine what formula they need to use is a key skill when trying to develop those problem solving and logical reasoning skills.

 

 

KineMath - This is an incredibly powerful app for graphing equations. Graphing can be quite a difficult journey for students when it comes to some of those more complex graphs or when trying to figure out what does what to an equation, such as when I have a quadratic equation, what does a number inside the parenthesis do versus outside of it? I see this app as such an amazing way to investigate properties of lines. Plus it is extremely touch interactive.

 

 The last app is dedicated to those sophemores and juniors looking to take the SAT's.

The Easel series features SAT prep, algebra, and other topics that can help prepare students for their math tests coming up. These apps cost a little money, but if you were planning on buying an SAT review book, this could be an alternative solution that provides a lot of problems to work on.

 

Graphing Calculator - I just wanted to add this app so that you can consider if in a school with iPads already to save some money and simply get a graphing calculator app for $0.99 and perhaps use that money to buy a class set of iPads.

 

 

Stay Effective!
