APP Night Presentations

I really enjoyed presenting tonight at APP night.  I shared 3 of my favorite apps that I use with my math classes.  I hope you will try them!

Ten Marks.  
This web based app gives support to math classrooms.  You can use it to differentiate your instruction by assigning work for your students on their level!  Very powerful to use as pre and post assessments, and to gauge where your students are with a particular skill.

Prodigy Game.
This is role-playing game that uses math problems in "battle".  The teacher assigns the common core skill and the students play the game.  Teachers can retrieve data on student performance.  This can be used to guide instruction and identify gaps and needs.

Teacher Desmos
The are teacher-created activities that are searchable by skill.  You can view the students' work in REAL time!  They are incredibly engaging and there are so many that you can find what you need for your students, when you need it.  Geared towards middle school and above.  (You can also create your own activities!)  You can practice using the student log in below and the code HP6J.  Have fun!
