This video gives advice on the best math apps and online tools to help foster an interactive classroom

We spoke to hundreds of educators and sifted through more than 500 comments to hear about what math tools they found helpful and unhelpful during remote learning this spring, and which are making the cut to use in the new school year.

Math Skills Practice

A number of math apps and online tools can help students develop the necessary foundational understanding of arithmetic operations they'll need as a baseline for more challenging math problems later on, math teachers told us.

To help younger students practice skills like counting, addition, and subtraction, Ashley Blackwelder, an elementary STEAM coordinator in South Carolina, highly recommends Moose Math, a free app for iPhones and iPads. In Moose Math, students play math games that earn them points to help build a town. Blackwelder says the format is easy for kids to navigate and great for short attention spans.

Curriculum and instructional designer Cassie Tabrizi recommended Happy Numbers (pre-K-grade 5), a subscription-based website ($14.50 per student or $1,450 per site for first-time schools) that breaks down mathematical equations to help students build understanding of higher-order math concepts. To use it, students transform into a dinosaur character and solve math problems to hatch dinosaur eggs. Tabrizi said that the website is helpful, but she recommends using it in moderation: It can feel tedious for students if they practice longer than 10 minutes a day.

Students fight monsters in the persona of a wizard in Prodigy (grades 1-8), a free game-based website (also available as an app for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and Android). Prodigy is loved by kids, but less so by educators because it is more play based. Brittney Paige, a fifth-grade teacher in Seattle, says that even though it is more of a game, she likes that it automatically targets math concepts that students struggled with in its preassessment and tracks how much progress they make on target areas. Most teachers offer Prodigy as an option for students if they finish an assignment early.

Zearn (grades 1-5), a free, self-paced, web-based program aligned with Eureka Math-a free pre-K through 12 math curriculum-starts a typical lesson with fun warm-up activities, like adding up how many apples a cartoon fox eats, to engage students. As they work through the program, students complete timed arithmetic problems, watch instructional videos on new concepts, and solve practice problems. Shannon McGrath, an instructional coach in Western Springs, Illinois, says that Zearn is good "high-level, conceptual practice" and gives good feedback for both teachers and students, but can sometimes progress too slowly for kids who master concepts quickly.

Open Math Tasks

Open math tasks-problems that typically have more than one answer-help students develop a conceptual understanding of math rather than get hung up on memorizing facts, said math educators we talked to, who consistently mentioned three free websites to use for open math tasks.

Rich Math Tasks

For rich math tasks-tasks that lend themselves to rigor, collaboration, and conceptual thinking-math educators noted a couple of websites.

Simulation Tools

According to math teachers, simulations, like manipulating an expression and seeing a change in a graph, are great tools to help students visualize math concepts.

Desmos (grades 6-12), a website with interactive math activities and a graphing calculator (also available as an app on iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and Android), is another free tool and a favorite among teachers, we heard. While social and emotional learning (SEL) and math may not seem to go hand in hand, teachers integrated SEL into math lessons using Desmos. In the first week of distance learning, Ashley Taplin, a secondary math specialist in San Antonio, Texas, had her students graph how they were feeling, for example. Taplin says she particularly loves that teachers can make their own activities-like this one about parabolas and this card sort, where students match cards with the name, corresponding equation, and correct graphical representation of a function.

When I created my Socrative I cannot think of anything that I would do differently. This website was very easy and manageable that I do not have any complaints! To some extent, I believe it is easier than Edmodo. Just though creating my sample quiz and overall navigating and looking at how Socrative runs went very well. I really enjoyed using it!

The learning from this component and tech tool has tied into my Ed. Psych class and Foundations of Teaching class because we have looked at how important it is to engage your students in assessments. Through engaging your students in assessments, maintaining a student's motivation and enthusiasm to learn is key. Even though it may be hard to try and maintain a student's motivation to learn, through developing engaging assessments through tech tools such as Edmodo or Socrative, students will be more eager to learn.

I can use the information of motivation from these to classes to remember that Socrative is a great website to design student assessments because it is engaging and easy to access!
