One suggested activity in Assistive Technology in the Classroom, for teaching math to special education students was utilizing the internet to find educational resources, online math activities and applications that can be utilized on an iPad to help teach students math. The following are great educational resources that I hope to utilize in my future elementary classroom:
Educational Resources for Teaching Math:
- The National Council for Teachers of Mathematics - The NCTM supports teachers to ensure equitable mathematics learning of the highest quality for all students. Click Here!
- PBS LearningMedia - This resources offers numerous links to other math resources to be utilized in a classroom. Click Here!
- Math.com - This website offers teachers lesson plans, classroom resources, standards and free stuff too! Click Here!
Online Math Activities:

iPad apps for Learning Math:
- Math Drills - This app helps master basic math facts in the four operations; allows students to practice and monitor their growth and continue to build a solid foundation, and automatically records ll data when on Test Mode.
- Operation Math Code Squad - This app is a multiplayer game for keeping kids current on all four math operations, and requires teamwork, collaboration and cooperation. This app gets kids engaged and working together.
- Math Evolve - This app introduces "video-like" gaming for practicing math facts and providing a solid foundation in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
The internet and iPads can offer a variety of educational resources for children learning math. Online math games and iPad apps are useful resources and an effective teaching aid that provide fun with learning. I'm excited to incorporating the internet and iPad apps into the math curriculum because it will help kids enjoy the process of learning and keep them motivated.
