What Fun Educational Apps Liked

"Fractions. Smart Pirate" math app is really engaging and my students loved it.  I loved the variety of activities available to practice.  The Common Core Standards don’t just focus on identifying fractions – they focus on the application of skills and using fractions in operations.  By working with equivalencies, comparing, and calculating, students have lots of different ways to practice.  

I also really like the different levels of difficulty. The easy level was perfect for my lower level students who are still learning fractions.  The medium and hard levels were really appropriate for older students who are capable of doing the calculations and comparing different denominators.  

Additionally, the pirate theme has become so popular in the past few years that children are engaged with the animations throughout the app. This app can be linked to Game Center for record keeping by parents, but this option can be turned off as well.

Equivalent Fractions in "Fractions. Smart Pirate" app

Equivalent Fractions asks students to balance a bridge with buckets of firecrackers so that the pirate can cross.  The fraction equivalencies are not easy and students will really need to think about the problem.  If they choose the wrong bucket of firecrackers, they explode.  The Comparing section is similar.  Students must choose the watermelon that is larger than the one the captain is holding.  The easy levels have fractions with the same denominators.  The medium levels have different denominators and the hard levels work with larger numbers and varied denominators.

Simple Fractions has students divide a pizza between pirates.  Players must give the pirates on the beach a piece of pizza from an already divided pizza.  They must then identify the fraction that remains to give out the pieces to the pirates in the boat.  The Addition section has the player put two cake fractions on the plate.  They must then add the two fractions to find the answer.  The Easy level has fractions with common denominators, while the other two levels have mixed denominators and students must reduce the fraction to get the answer.
