As of this morning, there were 92 apps that come up by searching the App Store for “math games” that are free and have ratings of 4 or higher.

So recently they organised an event where students at St Patricks got to show parents the opportunities for learning with an Ipad. Parents were invited to the school hall for an iPad in-service. After a brief introduction about the value of iPads in the classroom parents were able to watch children from all grades using the iPads in a variety of ways.
