Sushi Monster
Sushi Monster is an entertaining and challenging math app from Scholastic. Kids practice addition and multiplication skills by feeding the monster numbered plates of sushi, creating a number sentence to arrive at the monster's requested number. Correct answers earn kids points, stars, and trophies; choose the wrong sushi, and the monster throws a temper tantrum. The target skills increase in difficulty with each new level. Players can pause the game and tap the question mark to find a helpful strategy hint for each level. Sushi Monster is recommended for children aged 6 and older.

Number Frames
Number Frames help students structure numbers to five, ten, twenty, and one hundred. Students use the frames to count, represent, compare, and compute with numbers in a particular range.The frames help students see quantities as equal groups of other quantities and in relation to benchmark quantities. This helps primary students move away from one-by-one counting toward more efficient ways of counting and computing. As students advance, custom frames can be constructed to help visualize factors, products, fractional parts and more.
