ABSTRACT


Technology is essential in teaching and learning mathematics; it influences the mathematics that is taught and enhances students’ learning. Technology in this context includes computers with appropriate mathematical software, Internet and other digital resources, handheld computing tools and their extensions, and future and emerging forms of similar devices and applications. Technology can be used to facilitate mathematical discovery, understanding, and connections that may be difficult or impossible without its use. The computational and graphical capabilities of current technologies enable users to efficiently generate and manipulate a variety of representations of mathematical ideas and processes. Instruction that takes full advantage of what technology has to offer can encourage, foster, and support students’ construction of mathematical knowledge in a variety of ways.
