Mathematics Framework Technology in Teaching of Mathematics and Instructional Strategies

Technology An essential tool for learning mathematics Includes computational devices & programs and communication & collaboration tools Enhances students understanding

Technology “Technology changes the mathematics to be learned, as well as when and how it is learned… Some mathematics becomes more important because technology requires it, some becomes less important because technology replaces it, and some becomes possible because technology allows it.” (Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education 2011) Technology in the Teaching of Mathematics, CA Mathematics Framework, pg 2

Educational Technology Enhance understanding of concepts Increase engagement Strengthen problem-solving skills To accomplish this, technology must be integrated and teachers must be trained to implement technology effectively.

Mathematics Instructional Strategies

The purpose of this chapter is not to prescribe the usage of any particular instructional strategy, but to enhance teachers’ repertoire. Teachers have a wide choice of instructional strategies for any given instructional goal, and effective teachers look for a fit between the material to be taught and strategies to teach it. Ultimately, teachers and administrators must decide which instructional strategies are most effective in addressing the unique needs of individual students. Instructional Strategies Chapter

The Teaching of Mathematics must be carefully sequenced and organized to ensure that all standards are taught at some point and that prerequisite skills form the foundation for more advanced learning. However, it should not proceed in a strictly linear order, requiring students to master each standard completely before being introduced to another. Practice leading toward mastery can be embedded in new and challenging problems that promote conceptual understanding and fluency in mathematics.
