  1. Also check out Splash Math apps. They are available for grade 1 to grade 5. The apps are fun interactive and are aligned to common sore standards.

  2. Marble Math seems perfect for Toots! You never fail me on these Lori. I think I may need some of these for me as Toots makes his way to higher math like Move the Turtle - yikes! Thanks for sharing. :)
