Math Galaxy’s Second Grade Math covers all Common Core math standards for second grade as listed below. The concepts are presented in bite-size pieces with an unlimited supply of practice problems and numbers chosen randomly. Illustrations are used throughout to reinforce the concepts. There are review sections and you can be guided through problems step-by-step or just give the final answer. "The French mathematician Jacques S. Hadamard found, in a study of 100 leading mathematicians, that the majority of them were primarily visual in their approach. Some [including Einstein] went further back to sensations of a kinesthetic kind." Scientific American, Sept., 1984, p. 56. The secret to learning math is consistency. Ten minutes or ten problems a day, if done consistently, can yield significant results.

Owlet: Cube3 is an app that uses the Owlet CubeTower manipulative. Students create numbers by stacking small cubes in the columns of the CubeTower. Cube3 has five modes. Each corresponds to a different topic in place value: Tens, Hundreds, Money, Hundredths, and Thousandths. For each topic, there are five different activities. - Explore: Students place cubes in the CubeTower to create numbers that are shown on the tablet. - Make: Students are prompted to make a target number by placing cubes in the CubeTower. - Build: Students solve number puzzles. For example, students might be asked to build a number between 200 and 300 using 5 cubes. - Compare: Students create a number in the CubeTower and then compare it to a number generated by the app. - Round: Students use the CubeTower to round a number to a specified place.
