Since the U.S. is celebrating Independence Day, I think this is an appropriate time to underscore the reasons why the iPad and the Elevated Math app can bring a new kind of freedom or independence when learning at home, away from home or in the classroom.  Taking creative liberties, I have created an acrostic that reveals the strengths of using the Elevated Math iPad app with students typically in  grades 4 – 9.  Happy 4^th of July!  Let’s celebrate the freedom iPads and Elevated Math can bring to learning!
