Number Pieces, by MLC app for iPhone and iPad

Number Pieces helps students develop a deeper understanding of place value while building their computation skills with multi-digit numbers. Students use the number pieces to represent multi-digit numbers, regroup, add, subtract, multiply, and divide.

FEATURES

• Add and manipulate pieces (ones, tens, and hundreds).

• Change the starting set of pieces to a basic or an advanced set.

• Join pieces in groups of ten or break them apart (e.g., 10 ones into 1 ten and vice versa).

• Use the expanding edge piece like a measuring tape to show the dimensions of arrays created with the pieces.

• Choose from three different colors to clearly identify groups or pieces.

• Move, rotate, and duplicate pieces individually or as a group.

• Use the drawing tools to label representations and show understanding.

• Add equations, expressions, and descriptions with the math text and writing tools.

• Zoom and scroll to work with larger collections of pieces.

• Hide and reveal work with resizable covers to create your own problems and model strategies.

• Share your work by saving an image or providing a share code to others.
