HELP: iPad and iPhone Users...

...what MATH apps have you downloaded, use, and ARE HAPPY WITH for your school-aged child's use?  Moms?  Dads?  Teachers?

I'm looking for recommendations for ECE-2nd grade.

Thank you thank you!

(Yep, I get to test-drive an iPad for work and would like to transfer valuable search time over to trying-it-out time for highly recommended apps!)

  1. You are going to tell me how you like it. I have a couple thousand dollars in grant money to spend and I'm seriously thinking of buying Ipads for my k's.

  5. I am cracking up, as others have listed the ones we use. I was, and am, very fortunate in the fact that I had a parent purchase TWO for our classroom and we have NEVER looked back. They rock! My kids use them in a center rotation and absolutely love them. Their favorite is Math Bingo, but I also have to recommend Drawing Pad. It's not free, but an AMAZING app...you have to try it...they adore it. Have fun and most of all, ENJOY it!
