Practice2Master Fractions vs Visual LightPad

Practice makes proficient. Practice2Master Fractions™ is designed to help students become proficient in fraction calculations. It supplements teachers' instruction by providing students with unlimited number of problems to practice. This app is a tool that every elementary school math teacher should have in their teaching toolbox. This app is fully accessible for all users, especially for students with low vision and students who are blind and use VoiceOver™. It allows students to do the following: * perform free practice in fraction addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division and get assistance from the app whenever needed; * take drills on fraction calculations and save drill reports for future reference; * receive lists of calculation problems from teachers or parents via email and send back drill reports; * use machine-generated problems, preloaded problems, and teacher-created problems for practice and drills; and * customize settings to make machine-generated problems suitable for students' level of study. Features * Supports math learning objectives. * Machine-generated calculation problems are highly customizable. * Allows teachers to create and store lists of calculation problems. * Allows students to save problems into a favorite list for future practice. * Exchange problem lists and drill reports between students and teachers. * Large print numbers on iPads and high-contrast colors. * Fully compatible with VoiceOver™ for students with blindness.

Visual LightPad creates a bright illuminated surface for developing visual perceptual and visual motor skills in people with visual impairment. It's a cheaper alternative to expensive, dedicated hardware visual impairment light boxes. Think of it as a digital light box! Adjust Visual LightPad's brightness and color, then place semi transparent toys, numbers or letters on the iPad's screen. Where colors become difficult, open the color picker and change the background color to something that accentuates the toys. Where hardware light boxes can be associated with work, iPads tend to be associated with play. Visual LightPad helps develop awareness to color and light, but using objects also helps in the development of visual perceptual skills, hand eye coordination, and both visual scanning and tracking. Visual LightPad can also be used for; - Reading content printed onto acetate - Providing a reading backlight when paper documents are placed on top of it - Photo negative illumination - Sensory / mood lighting Visual LightPad is purposefully easy to use and relatively low on features. It supports presets for easy saving and recall of preferred settings. It is designed to run on iPad, but also runs on iPhone - meaning you can keep a small light box in your pocket at all times.
