(Do Math Apps Help Students? It Depends? )Discussion Post and 1 (One Paragraph) peer response
Many of the resources you all found in your week 2 assignment were web-based “games” that help
elementary students learn math. This week’s reading was released in 2017 and examined the
effectiveness of some of these apps. In addition to the summary (which is a bit non-committal), pay
attention to the reason for choosing these apps, the features, and the perceptions of engagement.
In at least 200 words, post a response answering one or more of the following questions:
After looking over this week’s reading, did some of the features and reasons for selecting these apps
enter in to your rationale for including games or apps that you chose in your week 2 assignment? Do you
also consider these reactions when choosing apps for your classroom?
What is your “checklist” or “must-haves” for including an app or a game in your classroom?
Is there a specific app/game (not a whole website) that always hits a home run in your classroom or in
your house with your own children?
