iPad Manipulatives- Tiggly and Osmo

In our classroom we are fortunate to have access to many different types of technology. This year we will be using them in many different ways. One way that we will be using the iPads is for word work and math practice. To assist in those activities we will be using some iPad manipulatives (interactive toys) from the companies Tiggly and Osmo. Through a connection at the Tiggly company, our classroom has received 2 sets of math cubes, 2 sets of shapes, and 1 set of vowels free of charge. These interactive toys can be used with the many apps from Tiggly. The kids have really been enjoying them. The number cubes have correlated well with our number partner studies. As the year goes on we will be giving feedback to the Tiggly company to help aid them in the future. We also have some set of Osmo manipulatives. The starter kit we purchased includes a set of tan-grams and letter tiles. I am also considering purchasing the Numbers set pending trial in another classroom. There are also a variety of apps that work with this manipulatives. For more information please click the links before. :)
