Motion Math: Wings, a fun multiplication game (iPad, iPhone and iPod touch) features a bird who flies across islands, building a nest and winning colorful feathers while solving math problems. Most math worksheets or games only use numeric symbols (2 x 3 = 6). This fun math game shows six visual forms of multiplication: rows of dots, clusters of dots, “groups of” dots, a grid, a labelled grid and symbols (2 x 3). Ten challenging levels (for ages 4+) and bonuses to customize your bird make this a fun family game. Submitted by Kelli Davis

Number Line is an educational game app to help students learn about fractions, decimals, and percents by ordering equivalent fractions, decimals, and percents on a number line. The app features multiple levels where the player must drag circles with either a percent, decimal or fraction onto a number line in the correct sequence. A score is earned based on the time it takes to put all the circles in the correct order (faster is better), plus points for each correct placement, minus points for each error.

Fraction/Line provides a quick, easy way to compare fractions visually. Using color coding to reinforce the location and function of both the numerator and denominator, students are immediately reminded that the denominator indicates how many parts the "whole" is divided into while the numerator indicates the number of those pieces, parts or units being focused upon.
