I always have an opinion. I enjoyed "playing" with the Math2 app I found earlier on in the semester on the CAST website. It did take a bit to figure out how to play the math game but once I overcame that obstacle it was great fun to explore the different levels and challenge my math skills!
Title - Math 2 (squared).
Publisher - fnx studios http://www..fnxstudios.com
website address
Cost - FREE
Notable system requirements: it was specifically for iPads. You can purchase it on the itunes site
Purpose/goal - to provide students a way to practice basic math skills at various levels.
Structure and Special features - it looks like a tic tac toe board, so it seems very kid friendly. It gives immediate feedback and you can get assistance.
Strengths - very mobile and can be used any time. The ability to choose a level for review work or to challenge.
Weaknesses - Starting off I could have used a tutorial so I can imagine students being frustrated until they figure it out. (If they are willing to stick with it that long.)
Summary - I think it is a great app to have and for students to use. It can be a self challenging game and can grow with the student as he progresses in his math learning. It is accessible to any learner that can use an iPad successfully. The screen size is large enough that it is possible for some visually impaired students may be able to use it as well. It is a great have any where game for all ages and abilities.
