Math was never my favorite subject in school but as an adult, I’ve accepted that it’s a necessary evil. I’m not a math minded mom but as a former teacher, I know how important it is for kids to get a handle on the basics to form a foundation for future success.
When math is a game, kids are more likely to enjoy it! Because I have 4 kids of various age ranges, there are several opportunities each week that we’re waiting for a sport’s practice or lesson to finish and having a great tablet
for the kids to use for educational apps is a must! This collection of Math Apps For Kids covers specific subject areas and offers a few suggestions that help children work with combined operations.
When it comes to math, a strong foundation in the 4 basic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, & division, leads to success in the more complex areas, like algebra, geometry, and calculus. Repetition is key when it comes to mastering these basics and using technology to reinforce the concepts can be a fun way for kids to learn while playing. Here are the best Math Apps For Kids:
