7 of the Best Middle-School Math Apps for Students

Middle school math consists of a range of complex topics ranging from geometry to trigonometry, to algebra and others.

Are your palms getting sweaty at even the slightest mention of these topics? Feeling a bit dizzy as well?

No problem! These apps can help.

1. Algebra Touch

As the name suggests, the Algebra Touch app lets users manipulate various algebraic equations through the aid of the touch screen technology.

Want to separate a variable? No problem. Just use your fingers to drag and drop the x’s and the y’s to either side of the given equation and see what you can get. You will be able to eliminate like terms and do several other algebraic things on the app with the mere tap of your fingers.

Almost all levels of algebra are covered by the Algebra Touch app, starting from the very basics to the advanced levels as per requirements. It’s available on the iTunes at a very reasonable price.

2. Brainscape

This app can be used by students to develop a unique study system of his/her own; something, if followed can heavily affect his/her individual academic performance for good.

The Brainscape app will ask you a question as to how well you know a particular topic. It will then use your responses to create a unique timing sequence that can help you study several subjects on your own.

Brainscape also provides students with the unique function of flash cards where students can create a unique version of their own (based on any topic of their choice) for future reviews.

The Brainscape app is available on the iTunes for iOS downloads, and the best thing about this app is the fact that it won’t even cost you a dime.

3. Khan Academy: PreCalculus

This app contains a host of instructive videos on pre-calculus that can come in very handy for middle-school to high-school students who have little to no idea about the subject matter.

All videos are free and are taught by some of the most innovative and creative thinkers of the world. Check it out. It’s available on the iTunes, and it won’t even cost you a dime.

4. Ooops

This is an excellent app for beginners who are brand new to the world of algebra.

The app presents users with a host of algebraic equations and then asks them to choose the numbers around which the parentheses can be placed for the solution that it has provided at the start of the session itself.

Students are allowed to change the location of the brackets or the parentheses to check how the outcome is affected by the mere shift of a bracket/parenthesis.

The Ooops apps can be downloaded for free from the iTunes app store.

5. Polynomials

Similar to “Ooops,” this app is also tailor-made for students who are quite new to the topic of algebra.

Students will be able to know about polynomials in a whole new manner, thanks to the instructional videos and snapshots that are present inside the app.

The Polynomials app is available on the iTunes, and the best thing about this is the fact that it comes for absolutely free of any charge.

6. Quick Graph: Your Scientific Graphing Calculator

This app is a powerful graphing calculator that takes complete advantage of your iPad/iPhone’s multi-touch display and provide you with the visualization of equations on the same screen itself, both in 2D and 3D.

This app is capable of displaying implicit and explicit equations, as well as inequalities in 2D and 3D. The app uses all the standard co-ordinate systems for visualization, including the likes of:

• Polar,

• Cartesian,

• Cylindrical, and

• Spherical.

You will be able to copy, email or save the visualization in your photo library within the blink of an eye.

The Quick Graph scientific graphing calculator is available for free on iTunes. This can really be a life-saver for high-school students considering the benefits it provides at a zero cost.

7. Quadratic Formula Solver

Quadratic equations are an integral part of middle-school algebra, and this app can help you a lot as far as their solutions are concerned.

The Quadratic Formula Solver app can be used to find the solution for real (or complex) roots as well as the discriminant of quadratic equations. The app is available for free on the Apple iTunes app store.

So that’s all for now then folks. Hope you had a good and useful read.
