With these five iPads, my 38 math students (19 each morning and another 19 each afternoon) will be able to use PTA-funded programs to combine numbers visually in countless different ways, solidifying both their math fact automaticity and their number sense. Our PTA raises funds each year to fund IXL and Mathseeds programs, but our classroom only has four older Apple laptops and three iPads. That's nowhere near enough for all the kids that want to use IXL Math to work on skills I custom select for them on IXL "Roadmaps" that I invented last year. I reward them for getting halfway through a Roadmap, and again for completing it. They are so excited about working through the skills that they don't even realize how many gaps they are filling nor how many number concepts they are solidifying. Yes, I would love to have 19 laptops and maximize use of our current programs (and even get to use my Google Classroom training), but this is a fantastic start. Right now one of our station rotations is "Problem Solve and READ" because there aren't enough devices. Not that reading isn't valuable in math class, but...it would be better to have everyone doing MATH in math class!
