    Hi,

    If you have the time, apple have sort of done an answer to your question here:
    http://www.apple.com/education/apps/

    You probably know already that most of these are designed with the US education system in mind. If you go into, say, math you can go to algebra/calculus for example which is appropriate for JC students doing maths.

    These are the apps recommended to me.....

    For teacher to use;
    Evernote
    Dropbox
    Explain everything (you can record and annotate things and it will be played back for others to watch- might be useful for maths instead of repeating writing up the same equations again and again record and play the back)
    Pages
    Keynote
    Teacher kit

    Students to use;
    Realcalc (scientific calculator and converter)
    Numbers ( bar charts and graphs)
    Mocks.ie have an app too where you can view past papers and sample answers so it would be handy too!


    That's all I can think of maths/science related the minute hope it helps! If you look at edudemic.com they give lists for apps in education so you could try there for more ideas!
