This document outlines a plan for implementing BYOD/BYOT in a 6th grade math class. It discusses allowing students to use devices like Android, iOS, or web browsers to access the Canvas classroom platform for assignments, communication, and sharing work. The teacher will obtain laptop or iPad carts for in-class use and has 4 classroom computers available. Technology will be used for individual and group work, assessments, opening/closing activities, and research-based assignments. Specific apps are mentioned for math practice, interactive lessons, tutoring, and games including BrainPop, FluidMath, GeoGebra, Math Friendzy, Math Planet, and Microsoft Math.

III. Students can use android, IoS or web browser to access Canvas by Instructure. Our
school system uses Canvas classroom for in-class assignments. In Canvas, I can assign
applications for students to access, view students in real time. Students can share assignments
through Canvas, communicate with peers and teacher in the platform.
Using android and IoS, students can use the web or app for Canvas. Using a laptop,
students can access canvas through web browsers. All school technology has a quick link to
canvas on the desktop.
IV. Anytime students are using technology in my class, I will obtain a laptop or IPad cart. I also
have four computers available in my classroom for student use.
V. When using technology for assessment, students will work individually. When using
technology for opening and closing, some assignments will be done with pairing, individually, or
small group. For researched based assignments, small group usage will be use. Small groups and
pairing will also be used for practice assignments.
VI. BrainPop: For movies and activities to assist with learning. Students can use BrainPop for
individual, small group, or paired learning. Teacher can use BrainPop for quizzes that the system
will grade. Students can use additional resources on BrainPop for more information on grade
level topics.
FluidMath: Bring your handwritten math to life with FluidMath! FluidMath is the first
handwriting-based educational math app designed for teachers and students in grades 6-12
(middle school and high school) and applicable to pre-algebra through calculus courses. The

2. award-winning FluidMath enables teachers and students to easily create, solve, and graph
math and physics problems all in their own handwriting. For teachers, it is designed to assist in
creating dynamic instructional materials for the classroom and to enable clearer presentation
of concepts. For students, it is designed to help explore and understand concepts in
mathematics and science. You can think of FluidMath as an enhanced whiteboard or a smart
piece of math paper.
Reasons for teachers and students to use FluidMath include stay in the mathematician's
primary workspace: a writing surface, entering and editing math has never been easier-- just
write standard math notation, apply your device's pen and touch capabilities to teaching and
learning math and science, get the interactive visualizations and computations you want in less
time, applicable to multiple topics in multiple courses in grades 6 – 12, and highly interactive
and engaging.
GeoGebra: GeoGebra is free dynamic mathematics software for all levels of education that
brings together geometry, algebra, spreadsheets, graphing, statistics and calculus in one easy-
to-use package. Interactive learning, teaching and evaluation resources created with GeoGebra
can be shared and used by everyone at tube.geogebra.org. GeoGebra is the world’s favorite
dynamic mathematics software, has received numerous educational software awards, and
supports STEM education and innovations in teaching and learning worldwide
Math Friendzy: This app has free tutors and homework help, along with learning resources,
instructional videos, and math games. Students connect with other students from around the
world in games. Parents and teachers can check student progress via weekly progress reports.
Math Planet: Students can use math planet to study. There are 100+ games levels that support
80+ Common Core State Standards, six adaptive learning pathways (grade 2-8), learning
dashboard to track learning. This program allows for learner to practice on their level. I could
use this app for building background skills for my lower learners.
Microsoft Math: Learn and practice essential mathematics. Earn badges and increase
rankings. Collaborate with others online or offline. Microsoft Math makes the learning
experience personal, engaging and exciting. Students can practice math exercises, learn
concepts, view examples, take quizzes and tests, and collaborate with other learners--whether
online or offline. By setting up a basic profile, Microsoft Math offers a social experience while
learning. Studying independently or collaborating in groups, students are motivated to
complete assignments to earn badges, leveled skill advancement and rise in group rankings.
Teachers can use Microsoft Math to motivate, monitor, and track learning and skill levels,
allowing more specific and individualized feedback to students. Microsoft Math is a great tool
for enriching the learning experience, even engaging students after school hours and outside of
classrooms.
