McGraw Hill AR

This award-winning app for 4-12th grade students brings learning to life through bite-sized, multisensory experiences that promote deep, conceptual learning. Using just a smartphone or tablet, students can view and manipulate objects and animations on their device screens, brought to life against a backdrop of their desk or table. With a growing library across Math, Social Studies/ELA, and Science, these experiences promote active learning and encourage student agency. A new group option for select activities offers collaborative opportunities and Spanish versions of select activities are now available for Cross Sections, Rotations, Nets, Slope, Solve Equations, Parallel & Skew Lines, Growth Functions, Reflections, Pythagorean Theorem in 3D, and Graph Theory.

Examples of activities:

Math
Discover cross sections in geometry by slicing a 3D pyramid, battery, or cereal box to reveal a 2D shape.
Calculate slope to help an animated skateboarder make their jump.
Understand net and surface area by unwrapping a 3D tent, can, cookie box.
Solve equations by dragging blocks and different weights to balance equations on an actual scale.
Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to a 3D pyramid.
Solve brain teasers through interactive, animated math word problems.
Explore how to use coordinates, distance, and direction to help a dog find its food and doghouse on a coordinate plane
Analyze quadratic functions to find the vertex on a graph and properly launch display fireworks (Group included)

Social Studies/ELA
Explore a Viking longship to learn about the great achievements and advancements of the Norseman.
