Now that we are familiar with educational applications that address automaticity, math fact fluency, visual-spatial and motor control, here are some more educational applications that address math concepts, math skills, and problem solving:

Virtual Manipulatives- to support the development of math concepts in numbers and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, or data analysis & probability. Users can navigate these sites and take advantage of extended practice, visual representation, interactive activities, and online resources. Virtual manipulatives are available through some of the following websites:
National Library of Virtual Manipulatives
Computing Technology for Math Excellence
Internet4classrooms
Virtual Laboratories in Probability and Statistics

Math Playground- provides free online math activities in the form of math games, word problems, and logic puzzles

Conceptua Math- focuses on fractions and provides visual models accompanied by spoken text
