Math App Saturday (#4, Puzzles & Problem Solving, part 1)

Saturday series on using educational apps for iTouch/iPhone/iPad continues with several traditional puzzle/problem solving strategy games. Most are particularly good for spatial awareness and encourage players to look for patterns, a key "ingredient" to building mathematical thinking skills. At posting, all the games are FREE...


Touch4
Electronic version of the classic "Connect 4" game.


Peg Jump
Electronic version of the classic wooden board and peg puzzle game.
 
Tournament Reversi
Super easy to learn but challenging to master. (If this is easy for you, please don't tell me!) Object is to capture the most game tokens by the end of the game. I mentioned this in a post on the board game, Othello, as it's an electronic version.


Return next Saturday for "Puzzles & Problem Solving, part 2."
