Integrating technology in the math classroom can go far beyond substitution, digital worksheets, and simple quizzes. In this blog post and episode, my guest, Craig Klement, will share 10 ways to use technology in the math classroom. You will learn about free tools, templates, and lesson ideas you can use across grade levels.
My favourite scoop to-date as it incorporates how programs can be used effectively in the curriculum across all levels and ages. Instilling creativity, being engaging and interesting for students and still applying the core content knowledge for Mathematics in the content descriptors. In particular, the Taco Truck idea for Desmos has inspired an idea for my mini-unit (tweaked) for another mathematical concept. This has inspired my creativity with teaching mathematics with high level pedagogy and implementing ICT.
Integrating technology in the classroom is a struggle. Technology may help students participate in new ways and provide more dynamic learning experiences than ever before. Google slides allows educators and students to give real-time feedback on their work. Desmos can be used for interactive lessons. Another tool is flipgrid which helps learners how to communicate using math vocabulary. Pear Deck allows students to participate in real-time while lesson is being delivered.
"Matt Parker is a stand-up comedian, #1-best-selling maths author and person who makes videos for the internet. Originally a maths teacher from Australia, Matt now lives in the UK but travels more than he probably should."
Several years ago, former fourth-grade teacher Tracy Johnston Zager took an informal survey of two groups of people to find out how they feel about math: mathematicians and teachers who teach math. She discovered that while mathematicians used words like “beauty” and “wonder” to describe math, teachers recalled “dread” and “fear.” These words aligned with what Zager had observed in her job mentoring student teachers who expressed similar reservations about math. Teachers’ sentiment toward math is noteworthy because research has shown that adults can transfer anxiety to kids.
As teachers try to improve how they teach math by applying numeracy, inquiry-based learning, productive failure and complex instruction, the idea of how to become better math teachers is gaining a wider audience. But Zager writes in her book, “We moved right into a new way to teach math, without addressing teachers’ personal histories with and understanding of mathematics.”

How To Bake ∏: An Edible Exploration of the Mathematics of Mathematics by Eugenia Cheng uses classic baking recipes to illuminate many math concepts. It helps take math into the real world as it helps to make some math seem easier to its readers. At the very least, it should find its way into the hands of every math teacher and serious math students.
In today’s post we are sharing with you 5 math apps that are featured today in Apple’s New and Notable category in iTunes App Store. Some of you are probably already familiar with Photomath and Math 42 for we have already covered them in multiple instances here in the past. Students can draw on them to get help with their math homework. The three remaining apps (Quick Maths, MathX, and Zebra Math) are featured here for the first time. You may want to try them out and see if they can be of any help for your students.
Useful and practical list of web tools to assist in activities in class and for at-home learning for students that require more practice or as an extension. Looking forward to utilising these in future lessons.
This app is included in a large range of apps available for free. These apps allow a question or problem to me photographed and to be solved in the app. These apps will also show the working out on how to get to the answer not only the answer. Myself especially found this app very useful in maths considering the ICTs, I could learn how to do the math problem by seeing the working out and following it too the answer. I think apps like this are a very inclusive way to teach math to students, as it can be used on very simple math problems and ones that are extremely difficult. Therefore, ranging from students who struggle with basic maths to those whom excel in it.
Math is at play in every sphere of our lives, from recipes to internet security to the electoral college. But that reality can be hard to convey through the drills, static numbers and strict rules that make up so much of K-12 math education. Educators have made strides to engage students through math. One way to bring the subject to life, according to a math research organization, is through literature.
The latest national data reports that while a growing number of students graduate high school, college enrollments are decreasing. Students cite a lot of reasons for that: I can’t afford it I…
So many of the Google tools are valuable for many content areas and grade levels. When a teacher finds a creative use for one, it’s almost always easy to cross it over to another class. Almost always. Except for one. Math. My teaching career has been in high school Spanish. But working with math teachers, […]
"Since the release of its web-based version, Google Earth has been tremendously incorporated into educational contexts by teachers from all around the world. ..."
When teachers reexamine how they were taught math and their perceptions of their ability, student test scores and attitudes about math dramatically improve, according to a new study.
The research, which appears in the journal Education Sciences, shows that fifth-grade teachers who took an online class designed to give them a different approach to mathematics teaching and learning, achieved significantly higher test results for their students compared with a control group of teachers in the same schools who did not take the class.
