Collection of math games for Kindergartners to build number sense, measurement, geometry, and probability skills. Cute prizes to build confidence.

Basically, this app snaps a picture of a group of post-it notes. Not so exciting, but the coolness comes when you can move the notes around. You can create groups, sequences, storyboards, flowcharts, and much more. Creations can be saved as an image or a file that can be opened on another device using the app. Possibilities are endless. Great way to capture learning and thinking!

Nice selection of multimedia for pre-readers. Highlighting and clickable words promote reading independence, word recognition, and vocabulary development. It is subscription-based, so hard for schools that have VPP (volume purchase plan) because we can’t do in-app purchases.
