Numbler, a Favorite After-Test Activity of my Math Students

With a few iPads in my classroom, I was able to keep my students entertained and using their math skills with a terrific iOS game, Numbler.  This game is very similar to Word with Friends, except students use math facts instead of words.


How Students Used Numbler:

I originally used this as an after-test activity for students.  They absolutely loved it!  They would quietly form teams (usually pairs) and take turns coming up with number sentences to earn points.  

Before I knew it, we were setting up a Numbler tournament during our testing week.  Students that were eliminated from the tournament began to play against each other just for fun!

This app is currently $0.99, however you could possibly find it for FREE, like I did on Apps Gone Free.
