As an elementary teacher, I am always looking for good Math apps that can be used to support my teaching AND make the learning ‘hands-on’ for my students. Number Line Manipulative app by Brainingcamp, not only meets, but exceeds my wishes for an excellent app to use when teaching fractions on number lines. The options are extensive, but not overwhelming or difficult for the students to use. I love the fact that two number lines can be used at once for comparing fractions with different denominators. By being able to compare fractions on a number line in a visual way, my students are developing a much stronger understanding of this concept. When we are ready to move onto decimals, this app will continue to be usable, and it will really help the students to make the connection between fractions and decimals. This is truly a must have app for anyone teaching and/or learning about fractions and decimals. The app support is also one of the best I have ever encountered. They are extremely prompt and helpful, and they are always looking for suggestions on ways to improve their apps.
