Two posts back I discussed applications to help with math fact fluency and automaticity. That’s only part of mathematics. Today I’m going to briefly discuss resources to help with math concepts, skills, and problem solving. It’s important for these educational applications to be clearly connected to the concepts being developed and must be matched to students’ developmental levels.
- National Library of Virtual Manipulatives maintained by Utah State University
- Illuminations (maintained by National Council of Teachers of Mathematics)
- Computing Technology for Math Excellence
- Internet 4 Classrooms (http://www.internet4classrooms.com)
- Virtual Laboratories in Probability and Statistics
- Math Playground
- Conceptua Math (http://www.conceptuamath.com)
- Destination Math
When providing AT it’s important to be targeting the specific needs of the student. Having this array of resources (and there’s still more out there!) should help you find something appropriate for your student(s).
