Number Pieces, by MLC

This app is great for playing around with place value and base ten ideas. I would love to see the ability to use the split screen option on iPads- would be so helpful for my virtual learners who are using it to help them with the Bridges workbook pages.

So in school everyday we have math and the teacher wants us to use this but then if you leave the app for even a second everything is automatically deleted so please get rid of this feature or fix this glitch because it gets on my nerves a lot.

This app is best utilized with teacher-based instruction. Students are likely to be somewhat engaged with the application since elements are basic. . The ability to create base ten blocks with the number pieces are not challenging and students are not distracted by any additional frills. However, there is no instruction, or game-like quality for students to do independently so teacher instruction is needed in order for students to understand the purpose of using the app, what they are creating, and what it represents. Additionally, there is no way for a teacher to assess student’s growth or record their progress.
