Hi everyone, I am loving MIT App Inventor.  I have now created my third app and am excited to share the details with you. Dot Plate Memory Games i s an app that will help boost your students’ memory and practice subitizing at the same time. Memory games can help improve students’ concentration, boost brain functionality, train visual memory, increase short-term memory, help keep focus and increase attention.  Subitizing is being able to instantly recognize how many dots there are in a group.  Subitizing helps students form mental pictures of numbers and realize that a number can be represented in many ways. This is a perfect app for your students to “warm up” their brain before your math lessons or during math centres.  How it works: There are 9 games in total.   Games 1, 2, and 3 focus only on four numbers at one time (easy level).   Games 4 and 5 focus on six numbers at one time (medium level).   Games 6, 7, 8 and 9 focus on eight numbers at one time (hard lev

As I said in an earlier post, anyone who teaches grade Primary to Grade Three in Nova Scotia will be executing a new math curriculum.  And one of the big ideas is subitizing which is the ability to recognize at a glance a quantity of objects without counting.  Dot paper plates are always used but I find they take up so much space.  So I wanted to create something that didn't really take up that much space and that I could laminate (which I love doing) so it would last and be protected especially in a primary classroom.  This is just like my new five frame paper plate product but this product has various dot arrangements on a picture of a paper plate.   This product has various dot combinations of the numbers 1 – 5 on a picture of a paper plate which you can print on cardstock and laminate.  I like to print the dot paper plates on both sides of the cardstock to save paper and be more efficient.  I came up with the following dot plate combinatio
