Number Frames
Price: Free
Platforms: iOS, Chrome, and Android Description: Number Frames is a great mathematics app developed by The Math Learning Center. It is mainly geared toward elementary students learning Number sense and simple addition and subtraction. Number Frames acts as a workspace with an array of tools on two toolbars to practice mathematical operations while also visually representing them. Education Applications: Number Frames could be used by an elementary teacher while teaching a lesson on place value. She could have the app displayed on a screen for the class to see and watch how she represents a number based on its number of ones and tens. This would help all students to conceptualize the concept of place value and have a visual to link the concept to in their mind. Another way to use this app in the classroom could be for each student to use it.if each student had a device to access the app on, students could work on homework problems while simultaneously using Number Frames. If they want to check an addition problem, they could pull up a grid and fill in the number of counters of each number being added, then count the final product to check their work. |
