Student uses IPad to Practice Fractions

During a tutoring session I decided to use an app I downloaded from the ITunes app store called Fractions Practice by exaApps to help reinforce his experience and knowledge with identifying and comparing fractions.

Mathination

Hi all,

I just wanted to tell you all about a useful app that I've found: Mathination. It's an interactive math application that provides a step by step tutorial for algebra problems. It walks students through the various aspects of solving equations: combining like terms, one-step, two-step, multi-step equations, distributive property, etc. It's easy to use and it does not allow students to do the wrong step. What is also great is that it has an "enter your own equation" feature. This is useful for students who are having difficulties on a homework problem. They can type in the problem and get walked through the steps towards a solution. $4.99 well spent.
