Technology in Teaching Maths
It is important for students & teachers to have frequent contact
with technology that
enhance & advance:
Reasoning
Sense making
Problem solving
Communication (Baglama, Yikmis, & Demirok, 2017 )
Good tutors enhance the prospective of technology to establish
learners’ knowledge ,
promote interest & improve skill in maths (Baglama, Yikmis, &
Demirok, 2017 )

2. Teachers who employ technology purposefully provide wider
access to mathematics for
all learners.
Technological tools include those that are both content specific
and content neutral. In
mathematics education, content-specific technologies include
computer algebra systems;
dynamic geometry environments; interactive applets; handheld
computation, data
collection, and analysis devices; and computer-based
applications. These technologies
support students in exploring and identifying mathematical
concepts and relationships.
Content-neutral technologies include communication and
collaboration tools and Web-
based digital media, and these technologies increase students'
access to information,
ideas, and interactions that can support and enhance sense
making, which is central to
the process of taking ownership of knowledge. Findings from a
number of studies have
shown that the strategic use of technological tools can support
both the learning of
mathematical procedures and skills as well as the development
of advanced
mathematical proficiencies, such as problem solving, reasoning,
and justifying (e.g.,
Gadanidis & Geiger, 2010; Kastberg & Leatham, 2005; Nelson,
Christopher, & Mims, 2009;
Pierce & Stacey, 2010; Roschelle, et al., 2009, 2010; Suh &
Moyer, 2007).

Technology & Engaging Students

3. Technology enhances the learning process by making math
concepts interactive through
media.
Provides alternate methods to instructional strategies such as
videos, movies, games,
research etc.
Customized Learning Experiences – Students can view topics
and study at their own pace
and assistance is there if needed
Interact with others outside the classroom – video calls with
math / industry experts (ex:
talking to a playground designer)
Benefits to Technology
Technology gamifies static lessons

5. SumDog
Uses game based learning to build maths fluency
It is a proven scientific digital education tool that engages
learners in collaborative
mathematical actions
SumDog is aligned to the Common Core and key state
standards.
SumDog adapts classes to match personal requirements of
learners & provides progress
findings to evaluate mastery of education qualities (Tesch,
2017)
Sum Dog is a scientifically proven and evidence-based digital
learning tool that engages
students in interactive mathematical activities. It is aligned to
the Common Core and key
state standards. It adapts lessons to meet individual student
needs as well as providing
progress reports to assess mastery of learning standards.
In the math classroom, students can get on Sum Dog to practice
learned skills
independently after a mini-lesson. They can use the progress
reports to reflect on their
learning and set their own pace. Teachers may use the
assessment data to guide their
lessons and to provide differentiated instruction based on needs
of individual student.

How SumDog works
Educators may use Sumdog to strengthen skills & ideas in 4
subjects: math, reading,

6. writing, & spelling
Educators can have students play independently during their
choice of academic time &
enabling Sumdog to chose the question a learner gets
Educators may also allocate certain Common Core State
Standards (CCSS) & questions to
learners, making useful for assessing kids after teaching the
class certain skills (Tesch,
2017)
When students log in, they can view assignments that the
teacher has given them and can
access games. When kids first play, Sumdog figures out what
level of questions are
appropriate for each student. If students feel the problems are
too easy at first, tell them
to stick with it; as kids answer questions correctly, the
difficulty increases until students
reach their "just right" level.
Students will enjoy the games, which have good, though not
great, graphics and sound.
When kids log in, their dashboard shows any assessments or
challenges that the teacher
has for them. They can also choose different subjects and topics
for their games if the
teacher has allowed it. The 25 games all follow the same
format: Students answer some
questions, play the game for a short amount of time, answer
some more questions, play
the game again, etc. Some students will enjoy competing with
their classmates in games,
while others may find this intimidating. Students don't need to
be working on the same
skill to compete, just playing the same game. One kid might be

playing against a friend who is multiplying integers. Through it
all, students earn coins
that they can spend on items for their avatar's room.

teachings
The efficiency of this concept is hampered by the fact that
educators can only employ
words that are already in Sumdog
Student accounts
We don’t allow children to set up their own Student logins
directly. Sumdog’s Student
accounts must be created by a Teacher User or a Parent User
(this includes guardians).
Teacher and parent accounts need to be confirmed by email, in
keeping with good
practice and the requirements of COPPA (for US users).
Encryption, and keeping your information safe
We encrypt your information using SSL while it’s being
transferred between your
computer and our servers.
On your web browser, you’ll see a padlock beside the Sumdog
web address. Clicking the
padlock gives you the details of our security certification.

9. Google Classroom
It is a free web service created by Google for schools
Focus on simplifying, developing, distributing & grading tasks
in a paperless concept
It is an immense resource for class management & students
teamwork
Educators are able to establish classes, post messages,
incorporate a class resource
page for learners, establish & allot homework, & record
evaluation data
Leaners can share their assignments & collaborate electronically
(Iftakhar, 2016)
Google Classroom is a free web service, developed by Google
for schools, that aims to
simplify creating, distributing, and grading assignments in a
paperless way. The primary
purpose of Google Classroom is to streamline the process of
sharing files between
teachers and students.[3]
Google Classroom combines Google Drive for assignment
creation and distribution,
Google Docs, Sheets and Slides for writing, Gmail for
communication, and Google
Calendar for scheduling. Students can be invited to join a class
through a private code, or
automatically imported from a school domain. Each class
creates a separate folder in the
respective user's Drive, where the student can submit work to be
graded by a teacher.
Mobile apps, available for iOS and Android devices, let users
take photos and attach to
assignments, share files from other apps, and access information
offline. Teachers can
monitor the progress for each student, and after being graded,

10. teachers can return work
along with comments.

Google Classroom cont..
An educator can develop a math class & upload videos which
may be utilized as flipped
class lesson
By viewing the videos learners can study the topic of the lesson
& finish the assignment
posted on Google Classroom.
Learners have the alternatives to work independently or ins
trivial groups
Learners can share their assignments with other students across
the globe, hence,
renders it simple to teamwork & connect within & outside the
environment of the
classroom
It is fast, paperless, no endless printing, and a quick feedback
system (Iftakhar, 2016)
Google Classroom is another great resource for classroom
management and student
collaboration. Using this service, teachers can create classes,
post announcements, add a
class resource page for their students, create and assign
homework, and record
assessment data. Students are able to share their work and
collaborate electronically.

LearningIndustry tested and made a review of Google
Classroom, in which they
highlighted many positive and negative aspects. Among
Classroom's strengths, the
review highlighted ease of use, universal device accessibility,
use of Google Drive as an
effective way for teachers to quickly share assignments with
students, the paperless
process meaning the end of printing, handing out, and
potentially losing work, and the
fast feedback system between students and teachers. Among
