Mathematical development can be difficult for students especially when learning difficult concepts such as fractions and abstract algebraic concepts like solving equations or evaluating functions. Polypad is a wonderful collection of interactive digital manipulatives for teachers and students that promotes exploration, creativity, and problem solving.
Users can represent a mathematical idea with the manipulatives or teachers can author and/or share activities. Additionally, Polypad is available to be integrated when building an activity in Desmos.
Polypad does have a YouTube channel that has lots of tutorial videos and webinars for new users. Accounts are free for teachers and students! What are you waiting for? Get building today!
