ISTE 2011

We are having a great time. Many folks have come by to thank us or share a story about how they are using our apps. We appreciate the great feedback! Please also try to rate our apps on the app store.

If you are new to Mathtappers, welcome! Just search on the app store for mathtappers and you will find the 5 apps that we have on the store right now. We have another 4 apps that are close and another 30 waiting in the wings to move forward.

Our apps are all free and without any ads or upsells. We hope to keep them that way so that more students can benefit from them. Our primary goals as math teacher educators are to help children make sense of and master mathematical concepts and skills and to find out how best to accomplish such. Mathtappers apps represent one type of tool that we believe will prove effective

I will post the slides from our Fast Track presentation in the SIGGS playground shortly. At that presentation we described some classroom strategies for introducing instructional apps and engaging students.
