Teen Math Apps

For the most part, teens are beyond basic math drills and into more abstract concepts and operations. And at some point, it gets harder for many parents to help with math homework -- and harder for some teens to accept parental help at all. If your teen sometimes needs algebra assistance or geometry gems of wisdom, these apps might offer the boost they need. You can also check out some apps that offer tutoring help from professionals to take potential conflict out of the equation. Since several can offer up answers, it's a good idea for parents to monitor to make sure the app isn't doing all the work.
