How Technology is Integrated into Mathematics
Teaching and Learning

• Types of technology to support the 10 mathematic
  standards
• Number and Operations-software programs (Easy
  Early Math), calculators, computer spreadsheets
• Algebra-graphing calculators, computer algebra
  systems (Green Globs)
• Geometry-internet (The Geometers Sketchpad),
  software (StudyWorks)
• Measurement-GPS, web based resources (Lady Bug
  Maze)
• Data Ananlysis and Probability-software
  (Tabletop)

Continued

• Problem Solving-computer programming (Python),
  Videodiscs (Jasper Woodbury Series)
• Reasoning and Proof-internet (Geometers
  Sketchpad)
• Communication-calculators, internet (Problem of
  the Week, Dr. Math)
• Connections-internet (Geometers Sketchpad,
  Derive)
• Representations-computers

Issues and Problems in Science Education
Standards in Science Education -Emphasizing
inquiry -Scientific Literacy -Focus on
understanding, not surface knowledge

How Technology Is Integrated into Science
Teaching and Learning

• Technology to support
• Scientific Processes-computer and calculator
  probes
• Scientific Inquiry Enviroment-internet programs
  (Web-Based Integrated Science Environment,
  Symphony, STAR LEGACY)
• Scientific Literacy-digital libraries (University
  of Michigans Middle Years Digital Library)
• Student Understanding of Science Concepts-Science
  simulation software (Decisions, Struggle for
  Survival)
• Building of Scientific Models-qualatative
  modeling tools (Model-It)

Into the future
Tools to aide in the field of mathematics and
science have come along way. We are no longer
restricted to the abacus and ruler, now we have
computers, calculators, and all the programs that
go along with them. Also, the internet has made
it possible to have thousands of teaching tools
right at our finger tips. Use them!!!
