Logix Domino Lite

This week I decided to find an app that was more of a logic puzzle. Logix Domino Lite is a free app that allows the user to put dominoes in the correct places on the grid. There are several different options, including a small, medium or large grid, and levels "easy" and "normal". I think it a useful app in the classroom because it is a brain-game, challenging students to look for patterns and analyze the grid. When I first got the app, it was a struggle to get the dominoes onto the grid, because they did not seem to move unless I tapped both squares on the grid where they went. One of the nice things about this app is that when you click on a domino, it gives several options where it can be placed; however, it does not tell the player if (s)he has the domino in the wrong place. If the user realizes that a domino is misplaced, it can be moved in much the same way it is place initially. In a classroom, I might use this as an individualized activity for students who have completed homework early, or introduced it to students on the iPad, eventually challenging them to create a similar domino game in real life.
