A new iPad teaching application intended for kindergartners through sixth-graders is offering both students and teachers greater flexibility in math instruction. The tool, which can be personalized to the learning needs of individual students, provides a high-tech way for teachers to make learning math more fun and interactive as well as bring underperforming students up to grade level.
