Maths - Geometry
Any of the Whiteboard apps such as Seesaw can be used to record ideas and strategies. They can also be used to photograph and draw objects. For example students could find an object of a particular shape eg cube, photograph it, draw the object and either write or record themselves explaining why they think it is a cube ie the properties.
Doodle Buddy allows students to draw shapes but also has dot and plain backgrounds and stamps which can be used for drawing shapes, for symmetry, drawing paths etc. Photos can also be inserted so it can be used in a similar way to the whiteboard apps but without the record function.
Make-a-Mosaic - ($1.99) Make mosaic patterns. Can also make patterns with horizontal and vertical symmetry.
Chatterpix - Draw or photograph geometric shapes and record them saying their name and properties. Example
Pattern Shapes - move and resize shapes to create shape pictures
Geoboard - online version of the physical board that uses rubber bands.
