DD7, who's not so much into math but loves puzzles and games, is a huge fan. It's actually sneaky algebra. Stacey.

So far, popular apps: King of Math has timed math quizzes with scores and rank/titles Chemist is a full on chemistry experiment lab with hundreds of chemicals in the full version Brain Pop hundreds of animated nuggets of knowledge with quizzes and Discovery Education has an optimized iPad web interface for its extensive video library.

But he got out his chemistry encyclopedia and later stead between making things which are real and inventing things he could name himself. Great solution for a kid who is not getting into the lab for a LOOOONNNG time. DeHe

DD7, who's not so much into math but loves puzzles and games, is a huge fan. It's actually sneaky algebra. I just purchased & installed it on my iPad, and DS8 is loving it so far. (I was trying to explain how it works and he pulled the iPad out of my hand and said in an exasperated voice "mommy, I can figure it out!" lol)

We get some science kits and DS7 takes any chemical warnings and "adult only" rules very seriously. Which I suppose is a good thing for a kid who regularly walks around with pizza sauce unbeknowingly smeared on his forehead. Instructions for Chemist would be nice as well as the chemical names on the label information.

What will it mean for their development? by HANNA ROSIN MAR 20 2013 about how children use digital technology and how much parents should allow them to. A number of iPad apps are mentioned.
