Chalkboard Math is the perfect app for elementary school students in need of math practice in the following areas: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

In addition to be a fun app that allows students to play Chalkman (similar to Hangman) while practicing math facts and giving positive audio feedback for both correct and incorrect answers, Chalkboard Math has been verified by professional educators to help promote the following skills:

1) Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. (US Common Mathematics Core Standard: 1.OA.6)

2) Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies. By end of Grade 2, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers. (US Common Mathematics Core Standard: 2.OA.2)

3) Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers. (US Common Mathematics Core Standard: 3.OA.7)

Here's how the app works:

You first choose the numbers (1-12) that you want to work with, and then choose the math operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division).

The app will then speak out the problem (if your volume level is set, and device not on mute) - and then either present the correct answer or go on to the next problem. The app offers positive words of encouragement for both correct and incorrect answers.

If you are playing the Chalkman game, you need to get 25 problems correct to win and save the Chalkman character from erasure.

Chalkboard Math also has a Flashcard mode that you can enable to learn math facts. If you are on the go, you no longer have to carry flashcards with you to practice math.

Developer issue

Does not work with iPhone X......... comes up with a message saying developer needs to fix issue to make compatible with iOS version.

Sound stopped

The audio voice feedback and history stopped working.

This app needs to be fixed

Used to be great, has changed now... please bring back the customizable voices.

From cuisenaire rods to base-ten pieces, manipulatives are a CRITICAL part of our primary classrooms. They offer students a real, hands-on way to explore a mathematical concept and build their own meaning. The CSA model of mathematics has us moving students from the concrete to the semi-concrete to the abstract when introducing and teaching new material. When students are struggling at the representational/abstract level, we always move back and build concrete experiences with mathematics. Students need hands-on ways to interact with math.

Why Use Online Manipulatives?

Online manipulatives are internet-based math tools that allow for whole-class modeling (led by students or teachers) moving students from the concrete to the representational mode of thinking. These math tools are often free resources sponsored by textbook companies and other organizations to generate alternative ways to represent math content. There are SO many ways to use online math manipulatives.

Online manipulatives allow students to show their thinking in a whole-group mini-lesson before guided math small groups begin (a great scaffold for students who struggle but still want to share their math thinking)

While doing a number talk, online manipulatives give a way for students to 'try-out' others' thinking or for teachers to model student thinking in a real way

Partner task cards with a carefully chosen online manipulative displayed on a SMART Board or laptop, and it makes a perfect math center

Math manipulatives can be SO expensive! Online manipulatives give students and classrooms access to a variety of math tools without having to invest in them, perfect for at-home learning and practice.

Today, I am going to start by sharing websites with the greatest number of resources and then, highlight a few specific learning tools within websites.

Think Central

Think Central, a free resource from Hardcourt, offers K-12 teachers resources to accompany their math textbook. Our school does not use a prescribed curriculum, but still we love having access to these free resources. From basic math concepts to middle-grade geometry and algebra, Think Central is thorough (remember - it's intended to supplement a textbook so it has a HUGE catalog of resources).

I really like these manipulatives and workspaces because within each resource there are lots of bells and whistles. The different options offered within each section closely match specific skill and strategies introduced in the classroom. These manipulatives are perfect for mini-lessons!

Although we try to do most of our number talks mentally, I do love pulling out the number balance for 1st grade algebra. This can be such an abstract concept for my 1st graders and being able to easily manipulate a scale (without having to make sure it is initially balanced) helps simplify balancing equations!

Math Learning Center

The Math Learning Center offers web and app-based manipulatives - with the best resources for building number sense. The Math Learning Center provides easy to use number-sense building manipulatives - abaci, ten frames, hundreds charts, etc.

Personally, this is the most visually appealing of the online manipulatives The colors are bold, allowing students to visually differentiate between different numbers and concepts. Plus, the bottom dashboard makes flipping, copying, and writing on the screen simple. We love using rekenreks in the classroom and the MLC offers a great online-component for this learning tool.

Glencoe Manipulative Library

Glencoe has an awesome collection of grade-specific thinking mats named "backgrounds" that you can interchange with a huge bank of manipulatives. From Part, Part, Whole mats to fraction unit tiles, Glencoe has ALL the materials needed to demonstrate Common Core math strategies and concepts. There aren't as many bells and whistles (pens, markers, flexibility) but in terms of content, it's thorough.

Interactive 100s Chart

For the first few weeks of school our 1st grade focus is recognizing number patterns on the 100s chart, as well as, 'before' and 'after'. My go-to 100's chart is SPLAT online! We turn this online resource into a game, playing as a class on our SMART Board. Using different paint colors, students can visualize patterns on the chart. Another variation on the game is having students take turns making number puzzles, "I'm think of a number that is one more than 15." Everyone would circle it on their 100s chart (at their desk using a dry erase marker) and then, one special friend would SPLAT a number on the board.

A Number Line (Open and Closed)

A number line is such a valuable tool especially as I am weaning my 1st grade friends off of their fingers for counting. It offers familiarity and comfort but allows students to work with larger numbers. EduPlace's Number Line is one of my go-to resources because of its flexibility. (1) The number line continues to any number by clicking the black arrows...even negative numbers (2) Hops can be made in any increments which makes it great for introducing open number lines. As students become more comfortable with the number line, they can take larger hops (2, 5, 10, etc). This is a perfect number line to explore number relationships and compose/decompose numbers!

Online manipulatives offer a perfect transition from concrete to representational math thinking. They can provide an important scaffold in math thinking and offer students a way to show their thinking when words or numbers aren't just-right. I've shared some of my favorite online manipulatives and would love your perspective. What are your go-to ways to use online math manipulatives? What are your favorite websites or resources? I'm always looking for other resources and would love to hear what works in your classroom!
