Description
Mathematics Education with Digital Technology examines ways in which widely available digital technologies can be used to benefit the teaching and learning of mathematics. The contributors offer their insights to locate the value of digital technology for mathematics learning within the context of evidence from documented practice, prior research and of educational policy making. Key pedagogical uses of digital technologies are evaluated in relation to effective mathematics learning and practical ideas for teaching and learning mathematics with digital technology are critically analysed. The volume concludes by looking at future developments and by considering the ways in which ICT could be used as a catalyst for cross-curricular work to achieve greater curricular coherence.
Reviews / Votes
'This is an exciting book that draws on the expertise of a wide range of contributors from across the globe and from both research and classroom backgrounds. It is thought-provoking and challenging. It covers a diverse range of types of ICT use all of which illustrate the potential of ICT to enhance the learning and teaching of mathematics. I hope with the help of books like this one we can move the agenda forward and bring ICT to all our students.' Celia Hoyles OBE, Professor of Mathematics Education, University of London, UK, and Director of the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics, UK Mathematics Education with Digital Technology will be of interest to those involved in the training of teachers and in the development of mathematics curricula. -- John Sykes, Sedbergh School, Sedbergh, UKMore details
