IPad Mini Storage Idea

Here is a look at how I am going to begin to stay organized with my IPad Mini Devices! The dish rack idea is working so far...

Good Morning,
    I am just writing to check in with everyone on the IPad Mini adventures in my world.  I have discovered some great apps for Grade 5, I think. 
  •  I also discovered a great free mathematical thinking app called "5 Dice."  It is developed by a teacher named Justin Holladay.  He also offers a course for teachers to create their own apps, at http://teachercreatedapps.com/.  
  • Here are more games that he created, just haven't had time to look into them at all.
    • 5 Dice: Order of Operations Game
    • Grid Lines: Ordered Pair Game
    • Ordered Fractions: Comparing & Ordering Fractions
    • 4 Dice: Fraction Games
    • Tangram Chess
  •  I also like another free math app called "Thinking Blocks: Model and Solve Word Problems. Kids have to think about the parts of word problems and build models that will help them to solve them.
