Technology in the classroom has become a vital tool for understanding and learning. According to Pierce and Ball (2009) that students’ attitudes towards math improve when they work with technology in classes. In addition, they are able to attain a higher level of understanding of the subject. This is because they can experiment with math concepts in a variety of ways, including using a calculator to solve problems or online manipulation tools. However, incorporating the correct technology into math classes requires a lot of thought and an understanding of how it works.
A key aspect of integrating technology into maths lessons is that it allows teachers to come up with more innovative and exciting methods of teaching the subject. Some of the most recent digital tools have been designed to benefit students’ visual and modeling capabilities. For instance, software programs allow students to build 3D geometrical models of figures like cubes and cones in a manner that assists them understand the features and shapes of these objects.
Additionally the most efficient technology tools aid students in freeing up their working memory so they can concentrate on problem formulation and modeling. They also facilitate the development of public records of thought that are able to be edited easily, transferable and shared among students and teachers. This method aims to bridge the gap between informal knowledge of students and formal mathematical structures and science-related phenomena.
