Beth Dichter's insight:
LEGOs. Math. Put the two together and you may have a winning combination. And to make it even easier check out this infographic that provides a range of ideas on how to use LEGOs in math. Make sure to scroll past the infographic. More detailed explanations are provides as well as a template to a LEGO stud dice (with additional ways to teach math with LEGOs).

"Kate Fanelli, a math teacher, had an moment of inspiration while listening to a keynote speaking talk about gamification. “(W)hen I heard the keynote speaker explain leveling, I immediately turned to my colleague and told him, ‘we can do that’. By the end of the keynote, I had drawn up an outline for MathLand.” The article by Peter Ross talks through the decision to gamify her math classroom, how she did it, and the benefits she’s seen firsthand."

Not an app but close enough - love it.
In addition to using Lego for maths, I've taken my sons (extensive) Lego collection into History and Society & Culture to have the students (high school) demonstrate their understanding of concepts such as globalisation, communism, nationalism, capitalism. Worked really well and classes sooo happy.
Having been broken up into groups and given a concept each, They created cities or environments demonstrating the concept then talked the rest of the class through.
Fantastic ideas for using lego in mathematics. Simple hands on tasks.
