Number Line App - Free as of 8/4/2009
Tuesday, August 4, 2009 at 12:18AM Nice things are being said about the following "Number Line App". I tested it out (no students as it is summer) and it appears to be very interesting, clean, and useful. I would love to get a math teacher's perspective and some students feedback. It is currently free in the App store as of 8/4/2009 at 12:34 AM CST.
This app was developed as part of the Learning without boundaries challenge and was the winning selection:

Here is the official blurb from their press release:
Number Line is designed to help students learn about fractions, decimals and percentages. Students earn points by placing equivalent fractions, decimals, and percentages in correct sequence on a number line. The application features multiple levels of increasing difficulty.
Well congratulations ... We agree that there is a lot of potential here! Thanks to Edu_mac_nation for tweeting about this app.

I teach middle school pre-algebra. This app is an engaging digital tool that helps students understand that fractions, decimals, and percents are interchangable. Granted a larger screen would be helpful as the line slides from left to right. Sine it is summer, I have not used it with students, but will be incorporating it into my classroom as I will be having 30 iPod touches in my classroom for the 09-10 school year. Will try to remember to repost about student reaction.
