Mystery Math Museum

Mystery Math Museum is the sequel educational iOS app from the hugely popular Mystery Math Town.  This is an excellent follow up to one of my favorite iOS Math apps for Game Based Learning.  As w/ the first game Mystery Math Museum is a big adventure that has students exploring 8 different museums in a eccentric town.  As they explore different museums they will have to solve basic Math problems that focus on skills such as: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.  Also, this game allows for multiple accounts which is ideal for schools and has a fantastic parent/teacher section where different skills can be set.  This is ideal for Differentiated Instruction.  Finally, MMM has a very high replay value as there are lots of different objects to find and secrets to unlock to keep students coming back for more.

Tangram Chess

Tangram Chess is the latest educational iOS Math app by Math File Folder Games.  This is a fantastic app for teaching different aspects of Math such as: translations, rotations, and reflections.  The way this works is simple a student can play one player or two (on same device or via bluetooth on separate devices) and try to move move their shapes from one side of the chess board to the other.  They do this by using translations, rotations, and reflections to move their shapes and reconstruct their image on the other side of board.

As w/ all Math File Folder Games they are bluetooth enabled for multi-player across separate devices as well as the option to email scores to parents/teachers so they can monitor progress.  Also, all games are aligned to common core standards and are printable to be used w/ the whole class.
