use Technology in
    Teaching
 Mathematics?

What Researcher say about use
of technology in teaching &
learning…
Instead of drawing 20
                      different diagrams on a
                      chalkboard by
                      hand, teachers can create
                      one diagram on a computer

  protractors and
compasses just yet.
During the project, the team found that 45% of students who used
Number Net increased in the number of unique mathematical expressions
they created after using Number Net, compared to 16% of students in the
traditional paper-based activity.
The main goal of
mathematics education in
     schools is the
 mathematisation of the
    child’s thinking.

Student Response system


  Students are empowered to take control of their own
 progress — they can gain insight into areas where they
               need help and seek it out.



Students who are reluctant to speak in class can respond
         to teachers' questions in anonymity.



    Teachers can do real-time assessments of students’
collective and individual comprehension of a lesson and use
   that information to adjust the lesson plan or provide
                  personalized instruction

 Not enough or limited access to computer hardware & computer software


       Lack of time in school schedule for projects involving ICT


 Lack of knowledge about ways to integrate ICT to enhance curriculum
