Calculators can enhance math instruction by freeing up classroom time for higher-order thinking activities while teaching students how to use technology effectively to solve problems. However, some myths exist that calculators will replace basic skills or that students should learn without them as previous generations did. A pilot program in four middle schools that implemented graphing calculators and a classroom learning system saw improved student achievement and engagement as well as opportunities to analyze collected data. Educators have a responsibility to provide students with technology available in the 21st century.

Positive Effects Of Interactive Whiteboards In Education 2003
The document discusses research on the benefits of interactive whiteboards in classrooms. It finds that students have more positive attitudes towards school and higher achievement when interactive whiteboards are used. Teachers also have more positive perspectives when using the technology. Research shows the average improvement in student scores is 17 percentile points for those using interactive whiteboards regularly, and over 30 percentile points for teachers who have two years of experience, use the boards 75% of the time, and have sufficient training. Full implementation requires professional development, boards in all classrooms, additional planning time, and changing teaching methods.

This document discusses the importance of technology in teaching and learning mathematics. It outlines six principles for effective math programs, including technology integration. Several strategies for incorporating technology are described, such as using virtual manipulatives, calculators for problem solving, and interactive software to improve understanding of mathematical concepts. The document also notes that technology like calculators can help students with disabilities or those learning English access math sequences and operations. It provides an example of a math lesson where students create video presentations involving math problems.
Effect of technology use on teaching and learning of mathematics
Technology can positively impact the teaching and learning of mathematics when used appropriately. Research shows that students who use computers for specific applications and real problem solving score better than those using computers only for drills. While frequent computer use does not necessarily translate to higher test scores, technology can help develop skills, support learning, and transform understanding when teachers guide students in applying it for higher-order thinking. Younger students with access to calculators perform better in interpreting answers and demonstrate deeper understanding, while maintaining computational skills. Classroom interactions also change as teachers take on more of a consulting role, and students show increased interest and confidence in mathematics.

Ict report
This document discusses the impact of ICT (information and communication technology) resources on an educational institution. It describes how teachers are at different stages of integrating ICT - from entrance stage focused on traditional tools, to implementation, adaptation, and creation stages incorporating more technology. It notes challenges teachers face at each stage and compares later stages. The document provides recommendations for search engines, planning effective ICT lessons, changing teacher roles, and motivating teachers through support, appreciation, workshops, and fulfilling their needs. It acknowledges the increased workload for teachers and importance of continuous professional development to support successful ICT integration.
Final presentation
This document discusses a study examining the impact of using manipulatives on math achievement for students with disabilities. The study was conducted with 14 7th grade special education students and involved two units of instruction - one without manipulatives and one with manipulatives. Students completed a questionnaire about their math experiences and took diagnostic and summative assessments after each unit. Results showed students had slightly higher scores on the questionnaire regarding their attitudes towards math and slightly higher gains on the summative assessments after instruction using manipulatives compared to instruction without. However, a t-test found the differences in results between the two units were not statistically significant.
Technology Integration in Mathematics Instruction in Urban Public Schools
This study examined factors that impact technology integration in urban public secondary mathematics classrooms. The researcher conducted a quantitative study using an existing dataset from 3654 urban public secondary mathematics teachers. The results showed that while access to technology in classrooms correlated with greater technology integration, participation in professional development had the strongest relationship. The study concluded that for effective technology integration, schools need to provide both access to technology and ongoing professional development for teachers on using technology to meet curricular goals.
Computerized grading system chapter 1-3

This document summarizes a study that examined secondary school mathematics teachers' perceptions of their preparedness to integrate information and communication technology (ICT) into their instruction in Kenya's Rift Valley region. The study found that teachers perceive themselves as less prepared to integrate ICT. While there were statistically significant differences by teaching experience, there were no statistically significant differences by qualification or gender. The findings suggest that ICT training needs to be included in both pre-service and in-service teacher training programs to better prepare teachers.
Calculator Information Kit - Bukit Panjang Primary Mathematics Curriculum
The document discusses the introduction of calculators in primary mathematics education in Singapore. It aims to achieve a better balance between computational skills and problem solving skills, widen teaching approaches, and help students develop confidence in mathematics. Research findings showed students who used calculators had better problem solving, computation, conceptual understanding and attitudes towards math. The syllabus and PSLE exam format were adjusted to incorporate calculators, including conducting workshops to train teachers and updating resources.
Focus groupschedulefornumeracy
This document contains questions for teachers about how they incorporate numeracy skills into their subjects. It asks teachers to reflect on how well they collaborate with the math department, whether their teaching of calculations and procedures is consistent, and how effective they are at developing students' problem-solving abilities. The document also queries teachers about the most successful strategies for enhancing numeracy in students with special needs or strong math abilities, and resources that are useful for teaching numeracy in their subject. Teachers are further asked to consider changes to better facilitate numeracy development and the effectiveness of homework in consolidating students' numeracy learning.
My porfolio in educational technology
This document discusses the role of educational technology in teaching and learning. It describes how computers can serve as tutors to relieve teachers of some activities while continuing to play major roles in delivering information and controlling the learning environment. The document also discusses how computers can reinforce learning through drill-and-practice activities and provide immediate feedback to students. It provides suggestions for how teachers can integrate drill-and-practice computer programs and tutorial software into their lessons. The overall message is that technology has the potential to enhance teaching and learning when used properly by helping students acquire 21st century skills and changing the way teachers teach to reach different learners.
Conceptualization of number
The document discusses several key principles of how students learn mathematics:
- Students learn best through active, hands-on experiences with manipulatives and by solving meaningful, contextual problems. This helps them connect concrete and abstract representations of mathematical concepts.
- Teachers play an important role in helping students develop deeper conceptual understanding through questioning and explanation of relationships.
- While basic skills and practice are important, rote memorization or practicing without understanding can be detrimental. Students benefit most when practice connects to mathematical thinking.
- Teachers should value student-invented algorithms and alternative strategies to build number sense over solely teaching traditional algorithms.
