Latin Apps Part 3: Montessori Roman Numerals

My students always love to learn about Roman numerals (and get very confused when I ask them for Arabic numerals, which they think of as just "normal" numbers).  The Hundred Board Extensions-Roman Numerals is a fun way for students to master Roman numerals by playing games on their phone or tablet.

Latin Apps Part 2: NLE Practice App

The NLE Practice App is a great resource for Latin students that are studying for the National Latin Exam.  While it is not truly an app, it is an easy format to view on the computer and on smaller devices.  Students can pick their level and go through questions quickly and easily on their phones or tablets.   It is a very convenient study tool. When I have extra time in class, I can just ask students to go through a certain number of questions as an exit ticket.

Latin Apps Part 1: SPQR

SPQR was the first Latin app that I found that was very useful both as a Latin student and Latin teacher.  It can also be found on the wonderfully named website, romansgohome.com. My students like the searchable Latin dictionary, Lewis and Short.  There are also Latin texts, including Catullus, Caesar, and the complete works of Vergil in Latin and English, which my AP students find especially useful. Additionally, there is the huge history The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire by Gibbon, historical articles about ancient Rome, pictures of Roman archaeology, Latin quotes, a grammar test, a Roman numeral converter, and, my favorite, an old Comic Latin Grammar with very interesting (old-fashioned) comics and rhymes to learn Latin. This is a great resource for students to access easily on their phones.
