This online tutorial guides teachers through identifying technology tools and instructional strategies to help increase students' mathematics proficiency. It is organized into 3 modules that have teachers review standards, learning barriers, and strategies/tools to address barriers. Teachers will complete an instructional plan throughout the modules by filling out sections on a student, standards, barriers, strategies/tools, and implementation. The completed instructional plan serves as the final assessment.

Welcome to Technology Tools for Mathematics. This online tutorial is
designed to guide you through the process of identifying technology
learning tools and instructional scaffolds that you and your students
can use to increase mathematics proficiency. This tutorial does not
include information on how to teach mathematics. Instead, it focuses
on some types of learning barriers that can hinder students from fully
engaging in instruction.

3. Content Organization
The organization of this course is simple. You will go through 3 basic
modules, completing different sections of an instructional plan as you
go. These modules are:
• Standards – Reviewing the Florida Mathematics Standards
• Learning & Barriers – Reviewing cognitive processes that are important for
mathematics proficiency and barriers to student engagement.
• Strategies & Tools – Technology tools and scaffolds to support learning

4. Module Organization
Each module in this tutorial will have 3 main sections and a final
