Mobile Apps

I am a self-contained 3rd grade teacher, so I teach all subjects.  There are a number of apps that can be used in all subject areas.  One of my favorites for math is Cash Cow; with this app students are having to use problem solving to create a certain amount of money.  The money is displayed in rows and columns.  The objective of the game is to collect the designated amount of money, but you can only use coins that are connected in the rows/columns.  All the while students must be adding various coins to equal the designated amount of money.  Another great app is Stack the States for Geography/social studies.  This app reinforces facts about the states, the shape of the states, and the abbreviation of the state.  World Book is another app for social studies.  This app offers an interactive calendar for "This day in history."  It also provides video clips of special events involving the nation and politics.  For science there is NASA App HD; this app offers images, videos, live streaming, mission and launch information.
