Free App for Now: Multiflow, a Math Fact app (part of The Flow Series)

Multiflow is an app that appeared yesterday on Apps Gone Free.  Usually $1.99, this currently free app is the best I have seen for multiplication facts.

Touring through this app, I started with the Mad Minute and "Easy" option, since 1-12 are the facts that most fifth graders should know.

You also have the option to go backwards.

I also liked that you can choose specific facts to study or practice with.


 Once you type in the correct answer it takes you immediately to the next problem.


Students can see their slowest and fasted answers.  This is a great feature to see what problem students struggled on the most during their session.

It's also easy to set up individual user profiles, which is perfect for a class that is not have a 1:1 iPad setup.

Even though I previewed this app, they have FlowPlus and DivisonFlow for free as well.  I assume they are very similar and also worth the download.

Update (2/19/13):  All three apps are now $1.99.

Password-Protected iPad eNotebooks for Students to Share

In an iPad classroom that's not in a 1:1 setting, I feel that a lot of e-notebook apps aren't that practical.  However, today I came across an app called "the note, Moka" that I'm willing to give a chance.  This app is usually $4.99, but for today only (2-13-13), it is free!

Since I just found out about this app, I am not too knowledgeable about it, however I do like the price.  I see a lot of possible potential in this app.


The main benefit of this app is that students can create their own notebook, and then password-protect it.  This way they can go back to this notebook on a specific iPad and have nothing to worry about.  Students can also share their notebook pages to dropbox and e-mail to the teacher.

Below are some screenshots as I began to explore this app.









Overall, the app seems promising!  I'll be sure to write some more when I come up with some educational uses for this app.  But for now, get it while it's free!

Have you used any e-notebook apps that's you've had success with for multiple-students use?

Update (2-14-13):  Unfortunately this app is back up to $4.99 in the App Store.
