Number Pieces, by MLC - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

Number Pieces helps students develop a deeper understanding of place value while building their computation skills with multi-digit numbers. Students use the number pieces to represent multi-digit numbers, regroup, add, subtract, multiply, and divide.

FEATURES

• Add and manipulate pieces (ones, tens, and hundreds).

• Change the starting set of pieces to a basic or an advanced set.

• Join pieces in groups of ten or break them apart (e.g., 10 ones into 1 ten and vice versa).

• Use the expanding edge piece like a measuring tape to show the dimensions of arrays created with the pieces.

• Choose from three different colors to clearly identify groups or pieces.

• Move, rotate, and duplicate pieces individually or as a group.

• Use the drawing tools to label representations and show understanding.

• Add equations, expressions, and descriptions with the math text and writing tools.

• Zoom and scroll to work with larger collections of pieces.

• Hide and reveal work with resizable covers to create your own problems and model strategies.

• Share your work by saving an image or providing a share code to others.

Great progress but I want the thousands block. And add the color option blue.

Wow! This is the best math apps I’ve seen! Great job! :)

I Need More Updates!

I Need A Thousand Block, Ten Thousand block, a Hundred Thousand Block, A Million Block, 3D Mode, And An Even Bigger Screen!

Wonderful but would like split screen ability

This app is great for playing around with place value and base ten ideas. I would love to see the ability to use the split screen option on iPads- would be so helpful for my virtual learners who are using it to help them with the Bridges workbook pages.

Hope

I hope to add a split screen service in an iPad

It deletes itself

So in school everyday we have math and the teacher wants us to use this but then if you leave the app for even a second everything is automatically deleted so please get rid of this feature or fix this glitch because it gets on my nerves a lot.

App review

This app is best utilized with teacher-based instruction. Students are likely to be somewhat engaged with the application since elements are basic. . The ability to create base ten blocks with the number pieces are not challenging and students are not distracted by any additional frills. However, there is no instruction, or game-like quality for students to do independently so teacher instruction is needed in order for students to understand the purpose of using the app, what they are creating, and what it represents. Additionally, there is no way for a teacher to assess student’s growth or record their progress.

Great for homeschool

I love this free, ad free app! My kids love using the iPad for school, and this math app gives me access to math manipulative that are expensive and hard to store. They can be used with any math curriculum for a variety of grades. This app is also easy to use, colorful but not distracting.

Error in App Details example

While in the example given in the App Store, the participant's hand written answer is correct, the coloration of the blocks does not match the problem. Clearly the app did not help the participant get the correct answer. Seems a correctly applied example would be used to promote the app.

Needs large cubes for thousandths.

If the developers would add large cubes to this app, it would be perfect. Common core needs thousandths.

Almost perfect

I love having the ability to rotate the base ten blocks, especially when working with division concepts with 2-digit divisors. This is the only virtual manipulative that I have found that has that option! I would love if there was a way to include a thousands cube. This would be especially helpful as we get into decimal place value to the thousandths. Thank you!
