1. There’s an
App for That

Sydney Crabtree

2. App #1: Quizizz
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/quizizz-play-to-learn/id1160249042
● Much higher completion rate on
assignments through Quizizz than
paper worksheets.

and more, which appeal to students.
● Students have plenty of opportunities to
self-assess - multiple attempts

score the first time, they can try
to improve upon it

learning and try again, or they
can try again with teacher
prompting.
● Fun and engaging formative assessment
● Uses: Review for exams, homework
assignments, etc.
● Privacy: You can hide people’s scores or they
can create usernames so no one knows who they
are

3. Quizizz Cont.
If you tasked your students with creating quizzes,
the app is easy to use!
Quizizz math editor lets you add mathematical
equations into a question with ease.
1. Open the quiz editor by editing or creating
a quiz.
2. Select any question types under the 'create
a question' section to add a new question.
3. To add a mathematical equation, click the
'f(x)' math button to open the equation
editor.
4. Start writing your equation with the
available functions and symbols.

4. App #2: Audio Note

● A combination of a voice recorder and notepad, AudioNote captures
both audio and notes for students.

entire recording to find out. Each note acts as a link directly to the point
at which it was recorded, taking you instantly to what you want to hear.

you to remember the context in which they were taken

5. App #3: PhotoMath
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/photomath/id919087726
● Simply take a picture of a problem and the app will solve
it for you.
● Some students tend to abuse it. Rather than understanding
how the app solved the problem, they simply copy the
work.
○ When I was student teaching, my cooperating
teacher and I had to change variables from ‘x’ to ‘Δ’
so if students tried to use PhotoMath, the app would
get confused.

● Word problem explanations, step-by-step explanations for every
solution, how-to animations, multiple solving methods per
problem, multi-functional scientific calculators, and interactive
graphs.
● Detailed animations that help you visualize and understand each
math step. Level up your learning by understanding “how” and
“why” math problems are solved, or remember forgotten terms
and concepts through their glossary.
○ This is important as the “how” of mathematics is often
the focus, but far too many times the “why” is neglected.

current knowledge level in math.

recommendations on the best skills to learn next will be
