Tech+Tool+3

My third tech tool is an application for ipad called "[|MATH VS. ZOMBIES!"] Of course, you have to pay for the ap., but I linked you to the ap store on apple so you could check out the description in case you were interested. At the school I did my peer coaching at, the teacher had an ipad cart, and he had a way to hook up his personal ipad to the projector. This ap is essentially a game that teaches math to students. Each cartoon zombie has a math problem above their head. In order to "zap" the moving zombies the children must answer the math equation correctly. When the teacher brought out this game, all his students were 100% engaged, and really excited about doing their addition problems. Now, I've only seen this used in a kindergarten classroom, and the ap description does indicate that it is at a kindergarten level. However, I think that this could be good review for first grade students as well. It's a lot of fun, even for adults, and the kids just LOVE IT!
