I highly recommend the Duolingo Math app, which can be used on an iPad or an iPhone device. It is fun, engaging, interactive, and tactile— focusing on the exact math standards that students will work on during their third grade school year. The app is FREE and easy to use. Students should aim to practice the multiplication and division programs first. Commit to completing at least one golden circle each day (which would equate to three rounds of brief practice). As our math curriculum moves into various topics, students can scroll to practice matching concepts such as fractions, telling time, quadrilaterals, etc.
Per the Duolingo Math app information:
Why Duolingo Math?
• Learn by doing, not viewing. Math is usually taught with textbooks, videos and lectures. But, math is a lot more fun when you can touch it, break it into pieces, and move it around. This is the new way to learn math.
• Enjoy all the best features of Duolingo, but for math. After a decade of developing the world's most popular language learning app, we know how to make learning fun. Start your 10-day streak learning math now, and you'll thank yourself later.
• Train your brain with something that's actually useful. Brain training apps and sudoku can be a good mental challenge, but they aren't helping you develop a valuable skill. Improving your mental math skills with Duolingo Math will come in handy all the time.
What does Duolingo Math teach?
• Elementary math, including topics like multiplication, addition, and fractions for students
