Hi, my son is 6 years old in Grade 1 and diagnosed with ADHD and mild intellectual disability.
I have another post that was about math but I want to hear if iPAD will help him teach for his basic math skills.
I'm an old fashion and doing math activities using actual objects but I'm desperate getting him understand simple math.
He doesn't want to do math with me, and he is already saying that "I don't want to do math because mom gets mad."
We're starting a tutor this week, but I thought Apps are more fun and he maybe more motivated to do it.
Did iPAD use helped your child for education??
We found apps very helpful. Just have to find the 'right' app. One that gives immediate feedback for right answers...b/c that is what our kids need. There a ton out there, and you can read reviews on the app store. We liked: Sushi math, cool math ( I think that's just a website), splash math, adapted math, XL Math (they did this in class)...really any app that rewards performance. Drill and kill is what her first grade teacher said..so true! Oh, mine is now in 5th and in the accelerated math program. Kumon has some great videos too. So, yes, apps are a great way for these kids to learn. Most are free...but some cost a few dollars and are worth it. Be sure to do the free trial first, before buying one..and read the parent reviews. Good luck!
Thank you!! I appreciate your input! First, I wasn't sure to introduce him to iPAD because he might break also he might become obsessed, but I'm strongly considering iPAD now.
Thank you for sharing those apps. Yes, I don't have any ideas where to choose from, so I really appreciate you shared names of apps. That saved me tons of time. I'll make sure I do the trial first then check the reviews! Good suggestion!
Mine has been in a BYOD class since first grade. Bring your own device. Throw that puppy in an otterbox....not anything short of an otterbox...and it will never break.
OK, I'll keep that in mind too. Thank you!
