Great Educational Apps for 4th Grade
I had a great question during conferences about recommended iPad apps to support our learning in fourth grade. I have several that I have loaded onto our class iPad that the kids are exploring and are developing a list of our favorites. For a small fee, you can download some games that are designed by Everyday Math, but there are other games that will give them the same speed and accuracy practice.
I would encourage any game/activity that promotes basic math fact practice as well as developing their skills in the area of multiplication and division. We will be starting decimals next week and support in this area would be helpful as well as plain and simple place value.
There are LOTS of apps for interactive books. Many students are really into reading chapter books, but short text is always a great practice for developing a good reading rate. Many apps have the ability to read the words to the students. This gives an excellent opportunity for students to pay close attention of how readers adjust the speed, tone, and volume based upon what is happening within the text.
If you have a favorite educational app you and your child enjoy, please add it to the comment list! We can create a list together!
