33 of the Best Apps for Kids in the 10th Grade

By Matthew Lynch

Spread the love

At last count, there were over 80,000 educational apps available to teachers. There are apps for everything: literacy, STEM, productivity, audiovisual, etc. There are apps which improve accessibility for students with different learning challenges, i.e. text to voice, voice to text, etc.

While many of these may be a dream come true for educators, the dizzying array of choices is also a nightmare. Teachers just don’t have time to filter through thousands of apps to find the one that works best for the needs of their students. To help, we started to create curated lists of the best apps in a variety of education related categories. In this installment, we will present the best apps for kids in the 10th grade.

  1. A Clockwork Brain

This app has a range of games in such categories as memory, attention, language, reasoning, and dexterity. Critical thinking is strengthened as children must work quickly to solve the problems before moving on to more challenging puzzles.

  1. Civilization VI

Now in its sixth iteration, this modern computer game is not just fun; it’s actually a place for children (and adults) to use the full extent of their imagination and critical thinking skills. The game starts with the dawn of humans, and it is up to the player to help them achieve civilization through each time period. Users must decide what it takes for a culture to evolve and this is no easy task.

  1. OCR Instantly Pro

Text-to-speech apps are great for online content, but what about books or worksheets? OCR Instantly Pro allows users to snap a photo of any page and convert it to text, which can then be read aloud by a number of apps.

  1. MindMeister

For dyslexic students, traditional note-taking is difficult. This app allows users to create graphic organizers or mind maps to jot down their thoughts quickly and easily.

  1. Diigo

How do you know if you are digitally literate? Diigo provides numerous self-assessments for both teachers and students to test their digital literacy. Most jobs require a level of digital awareness, so career-wise, it is important for students to be well-versed in their online skills.

  1. SAT Vocab – Mindsnacks

This vocabulary app includes nine games to help students dominate the SAT with lessons, quests, and additional SAT preparation features (i.e., antonyms). The games are fun, but the app is also a great vocabulary building tool because it includes definitions, pronunciations, and contextual examples.

  1. Code Avengers

Students learn to code by working with real code. This site is for advanced students. 

  1. Codecademy

This site teaches kids how to code with a hands-on approach. Very popular among educators.

  1. Cleanopolis

Fighting climate change becomes interactive with this app. Students learn about CO2 and battle along with Captain Clean to save the world. Not only is this a fun game but the educational quality would make it great in any science classroom.

  1. Public Speaking VR

Practice the skills of public speaking with this immersive VR experience. With photorealistic environments, students can prepare for a job interview of a class presentation.

  1. Anatomy 4D

Study the human body with clear images that come to life. Ideal for biology students or anyone with interest in the inner workings of the body.

  1. Sites in VR

Explore famous landmarks in all their splendor. With an emphasis on Islamic temples, tombs, and ancient cities, students will get to see sites that otherwise would be inaccessible

  1. Scitable

Helpful teacher tools, with articles suited for advanced bio students.

  1. Anatomy 4D

For high school and college students, Anatomy 4D is a great resource for studying anatomy.

  1. Physics Calculator

With fill-in-the-blank equations for motion, energy, power, gravity, and many more physic properties, this app is a quick solving tool for those hard to answer physics problems.

  1. iCell App

Studying the cell became easier with this 3-D cell app. Students can view the cell structures and dynamics for plants, animals, and bacteria.

  1. BrainPOP

BrainPOP is a must-have interactive website and app for teachers and students. It covers the high school subjects and features fun videos and games for each subject with quizzes to gauge student learning.

  1. EasyBib

Students will write several research papers during high school, and this app and website make it easy to cite sources correctly. Students simply must input the source information, and the app will formulate the full bibliography.

  1. ExploreLearning Gizmos: Mathematics Grades 9-12

Exciting interactive tools teach higher-level math concepts.

  1. Sokikom: Common Core Math

Math app that offers personalized lessons.

  1. Reflex: Math Fact Fluency

  1. Stephen Hawking’s Snapshots of the Universe

This app includes 10 interactive experiments and video segments to help students study our universe.

  1. Mathboard

Designed like a chalkboard, Mathboard focuses on encouraging students to figure out math problems themselves, rather than trying to guess the answer.

  1. MathPentagon

Aptly named, MathPentagon is a group of apps that focus on five different math curriculums: ratios, geometry, trigonometry, algebra, and statistics.

About Us

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
