Clarity Launches Third App for Building Mathematical Computational Skills

Number Pieces, by The Math Learning Center, is a new elementary math app that helps students develop a deeper understanding of place value while building computational skills with multi-digit numbers. Young learners manipulate virtual base 10 pieces to represent multi-digit numbers, regroup, add, subtract, multiply, and divide. Number Pieces also gives them a drawing tool to label representations and show their understanding.

Number Pieces is the third in a series of open-ended instructional apps built in partnership with The Math Learning Center. Geoboard, released in April 2012, has already topped 100,000 downloads world-wide and was featured in the Middle School Zone of the Education section of the Apple App Store. Additional virtual manipulatives are planned for development and release later this year. 

These virtual versions of the phyiscal manipulatives used in The Math Learning Center's Bridges in Mathematics curriculum are open-ended instructional utilities, ideal for elementary classrooms and other learning environments that use iPads and interactive whiteboards.
