Sky Numbers


Sky Numbers - Math meets Fun

Cost: $1.99

Pros: Fun and educational, tests and improves one's math skills in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Improves one's speed and reflexes as the numbers drop faster and faster. Exercises your brain, allows you to compare your scores with others around the world. Challenging, yet fun. Suitable for kids.

Cons: Costs money. One customer review said it didn't work and was impossible to receive support from the company.

Related Apps: I have not used any similar apps to this one, although it did remind me of the Number Goal Game from the article we read for class. In both cases, students are using reasoning to come up with math computations.

How I'd use it in Education: I would allow my students to use this app in my classroom whenever there is free time. I might use it to open a lesson, to get students engaged and ready to learn. Furthermore, I would suggest an app like this for students to use at home when they have downtime.
