solving math word problems on the iPad

Math word problems are an essential component in supporting students' mathematical thinking and reasoning, number sense, arithmetic skills, and problem solving.

The Word Problems app by Classroom Focused Software provides students with word problems that support the students in making sense of mathematical concepts and applying mathematical concepts within a context that encourages meaningful connections to authentic problem solving.

With the capability to "listen" to the problem, the capability to choose problem "types", and the capability to utilize a variety of "tools" to identify the unknown in the problem- the Word Problems app is an essential and valuable app for students' mathematical learning and development!

The First Grade Butterflies utilize the Word Problems app independently and cooperatively (with an iPad math partner) to develop, support, and extend their skills, strategies, and behaviors, as a mathematician!
