Recommendations for great math apps?

[Anonymous]

There are sooooo many. My son can't go to school this year because of a health issue. We read a lot so that's not an issue but he likes math and would like him to keep up or get ahead. (second grader). Apps on other subjects welcomed as well.

DreamBox is another math app used by many schools.

A lot of schools are using ST Math which is subscription based but is year-long and actually teaches (in its own way) rather than just practice. It is subscription based but they have a homeschool option.

You could also try Zearn which is free and based on Eureka Math. Each lesson exactly follows the daily Eureka lesson so he would get the full curriculum. It's free you just need to create an account.

Cash cow (chillingo)
Fruit ninja academy: math master
Dinosaur chess iOS

Math Seeds is a good one. Also - Khan Academy and Moby Max. We use the Dimensions Math curriculum (from Singapore Math) at home.

Beast Academy just started their online component.

Khan Academy has units that tie pretty closely to Common Core concepts, and the videos that demonstrate the concepts have been pretty close to what my daughter's teachers did in class (according to her, anyway).

Former homeschooler here and Khan really helped my kids transition into school.

Khan Academy, which is free, and Aleks.com, which costs a fee, are two nice good choices for a comprehensive math curriculum.

I think Aleks is a little better organized, but the lowest level is 3rd grade. Many strong second graders would probably be fine with it, especially since it includes review a lot of the second grade concepts.

Then you could supplement with lots of games. Mrnussbaum.com is one of my new favorites for math games. I also like Dragonbox Big Numbers, and ST Math.

Good luck to you and your son.

Love Beast Academy! My DD loves it too and that's saying a lot. I've never tried their online stuff but the books are great so you may want to check those out.

My kid also loves the Beast Academy books. Have not tried the online version but highly recommend the books.
