Dexteria Dots-Best New Math App in Education

Dexteria Dots-Best New Math App in Education | Math, Technology and UDL:  Closing the Achievement Gap | Scoop.it
Dexteria Dots, the new math app from BinaryLabs, has been named a Best New App in Education by Apple, and is being featured on the App Store.
Kathleen McClaskey's insight:

Dexteria Dots is a fun, intuitive math game that teaches the concepts of number sense, addition, subtraction, larger-than, and smaller-than. Equally playable on iPhone or iPad, the app will appeal to kids from age 2-8. Fast fingers earn bonus dots as the player masters a variety of challenges and difficulty levels. Parents, teachers, and OTs will love it, too!

Geometer's Sketchpad - Why UDL?

Geometer's Sketchpad - Why UDL? | Math, Technology and UDL:  Closing the Achievement Gap | Scoop.it

"With Sketchpad™, you can give your students a tangible, visual way to explore and understand core concepts—from numbers and operations, algebraic thinking, and geometry and measurement in elementary and middle school to algebra, geometry, trigonometry, precalculus, and calculus in high school and college. Concepts that students frequently find difficult become very clear when they see visual representations on the screen and interact with them using Sketchpad.

 

Why UDL?

 

> Geometer's Sketchpad allows students to visually represent math concepts and ideas in powerful ways and supports the notion of multiple means of representation.

> Geometer's Sketchpad allows students to demonstrate their knowledge using the computer ans supports the notion of multiple means of expression."
