Undersea Math Undersea Math is another math low budget, under the radar educational iPad math app that my kids – particularly my daughter – consistently use. The premise is very simple. You fill in the answer to the math problem on a little pretend wood puzzle and continue to solve…
United States Map Puzzle One of the great, great uses of the iPad is teaching geography. My kids know more about geography than you do. Yes you. And the iPad is the reason. I’m going to write about a lot of high tech geography games. But let’s start with United…
