List created late May of 2017. It's been a while since I have examined some math apps. These are some good ones that are engaging for students, BUT you have to pay for them. You can skip paying for that latte tomorrow for some math fluency apps for your kids, right? As you think about purchasing the apps, there are many related apps and apps made by the same developer that will fit your student's learning level. This list is a good place to start, but not the ultimate list. I do own ALL these apps and have used them with my own kids.
