Middle School Algebra App

Cost: FREE Pros: This app is a free, fun, interactive way for students to grasp key alegebraic concepts in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. After students take the tests and quizzes they have the option to send to scores to their teacher's email. This is a great way to review and practice what they learn in class but also be engaged and have fun while learning. This website is also a great way to download the games to the classroom/home computer for extra practice: http://www.monkeyinthemiddleapps.com/ It has many different versions that allows middle school aged students to understand algebra in a fun and creative way. The games are also aligned to the common core state standards which is very relevent to us as future teachers in this new generation. Students also have the option to compete with their friends which keeps them challenged and engaged. Cons: The letters and words tend to be a small size. How I would use it in education: As a future educator, I would use this in and outside of the classroom. After I would introduce a new algebraic topic, I could have them practice these games in their free time or add their scores into the grade policy for that class. I could incorporate this app into my lesson plans for all of my math activities to create an interactive, fun, learning environment. Similar apps I have tried: I have never tried an app like this one.
