MathBoard - Technology Education

Student learning can be highly supported by technology.  Mobile technology can tremendously help technology education teachers and students, through the different educational applications developed for tablets.

Subject: Math

Grade level: 4^th

Topic: basic math operations

Learning objectives: The students will be able to perform and practice integer operations on a mobile app called MathBoard ( or Desktop Version, if iPads are not provided by the school district).

This is a great and a very interactive mobile application for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations.  It can be customized depending on the math operation you would to practice, this mobile app makes math fun. 

 

This is an application developed for the iPad and is a fantastic math-learning tool for kids from kindergarten all the way up to elementary school. MathBoard allows generating up to 250 questions per quiz.  Each quiz can be time out.  You can also save the quizzes, so you can replay them and go over them with your students about the mistakes made.  MathBoard is a LanSchool EdApp certified.  Mathboard is designed as quiz, so you can practice and test students. Please join me to view the following video on how MathBoard is being reviewed. You can see how it works.

I could use MathBoard to randomly give a pop quiz to my students and time them to see how long does it take them to complete a 10-question quiz. See the scores and then I will be able to see how my students do in arithmetic operations, as well as more complex operations.  This can definitely help math teachers to practice with students.

MathBoard is also available for Mac users as software. You have the same functionality as the mobile app, the only difference is that you run the software from you computer rather than from a tablet.  You can also view how the desktop version works in the following video.
