McGraw Hill makes 9 Everyday Math Apps

FYI...

Begin forwarded message:

Hi Everyone,


In support of this week's National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Annual Meeting, happening in Indianapolis, McGraw Hill has made 9 of their incredible everyday math apps free.   These iOS apps cover addition, multiplication, fractions and more!  Here's a link to their fractions app:




To find all 9, I searched for "Everyday Math" in the iTunes App Store and was able to find them all quickly. (Note these are apps for just iPads, iPod Touchs, and iPhones.)


Sincerely,

Just been thinking and writing about social media and the classroom. Thought I'd share: It's the Media...the Social Media, that is.
