Math is known to be one of the most boring subjects in kids’ eyes. So, how can teachers make learning math more interactive and more fun? True, teachers can make up games to teach a math concept that involves every student. But, when teachers need to help students in small groups or one-on-one, how can they make sure that other students are actively practicing math skills?

One of the great aspects of having tablets in the classroom is the availability educational apps. With these apps, students can individually learn, practice, and have fun with different subjects and concepts. Luckily, there are many good, quality math apps for students of all ages.

    You have to take a look at the QAMA calculator. http://www.qamacalculator.com (for iOS and Android).

    Literally one man in San Diego taking on the might of the huge calculator companies.

    Why is it different? It asks users to enter a reasonable estimate before they see the precise answer. A simple thing to say but 16 years to develop.

    As a maths teacher, it is the only one I use on my tablet and phone. It has made my own numeracy skills improve, let alone students and there are some incredible reviews on the website news section. But you will never see it being marketed in the same was as most of the above.

    IMO it should be the ONLY calculator allowed on tablets and phones in school (until graphical needs requires something more).
