One recent post on the Youcubed site addressed math apps. Boaler writes, "In my recent presentations I have been talking about the need to get rid of short – and particularly timed – questions, replacing them with rich and deep math questions. Many teachers ask how students can develop automaticity without short questions and I share that the best way to help with practice and automaticity is engaging students in good math apps and games. There are many bad math apps and games out there, that are speed driven, but some are excellent and I have put 4 of my favorites on youcubed."
