10 Great Free Apps for Middle School

These are 10 of the best free apps for middle school. Each has been handpicked by our editorial staff because it offers unique experiences that'll both support and challenge kids in grades 6-8. Use these apps to pique students' interest and to help them acquire new skills and demonstrate learning. There's a healthy dose of subject-specific tools -- especially for STEM classrooms -- as well as discipline-spanning creative and productivity tools that'll be useful no matter what your students are learning. Students can use these free apps to develop creative skills, take notes, collect and analyze data, and present information. If you have a 1-to-1 or BYOD classroom -- or even just access to a tablet cart -- we hope the apps on this list can serve your students well all year long.
