After yesterday’s post on an app by Seven Academy, I decided to explore more apps by this developer. I find it interesting how they take often monotonous tasks (e.g. learning sight words) and transform them into a more colorful, exciting experience for children.
A while back, I provided a list of apps to help students with mathematics. After exploring more on Seven Academy’s website, I stumbled across five more apps that may benefit children learning math. Check them out!
