TECHNOLOGY IN MATHS Kayla Figueroa Grand Canyon University February 19, 2020
Technology in Teaching Maths It is important for students & teachers to have frequent contact with technology that enhance & advance: Reasoning Sense making Problem solving Communication (Baglama, Yikmis, & Demirok, 2017 ) Good tutors enhance the prospective of technology to establish learners’ knowledge , promote interest & improve skill in maths (Baglama, Yikmis, & Demirok, 2017 )
Teachers who employ technology purposefully provide wider access to mathematics for all learners.
Technological tools include those that are both content specific and content neutral. In mathematics education, content-specific technologies include computer algebra systems; dynamic geometry environments; interactive applets; handheld computation, data collection, and analysis devices; and computer-based applications. These technologies support students in exploring and identifying mathematical concepts and relationships. Content-neutral technologies include communication and collaboration tools and Web- based digital media, and these technologies increase students' access to information, ideas, and interactions that can support and enhance sense making, which is central to the process of taking ownership of knowledge. Findings from a number of studies have shown that the strategic use of technological tools can support both the learning of mathematical procedures and skills as well as the development of advanced mathematical proficiencies, such as problem solving, reasoning, and justifying (e.g., Gadanidis & Geiger, 2010; Kastberg & Leatham, 2005; Nelson, Christopher, & Mims, 2009; Pierce & Stacey, 2010; Roschelle, et al., 2009, 2010; Suh & Moyer, 2007). 2
Technology & Engaging Students Technology enhances the learning process by making math concepts interactive through media.
Provides alternate methods to instructional strategies such as videos, movies, games, research etc.
Customized Learning Experiences – Students can view topics and study at their own pace and assistance is there if needed
Interact with others outside the classroom – video calls with math / industry experts (ex: talking to a playground designer)
Benefits to Technology Technology gamifies static lessons

Self Directed Learning Technology encourages collaboration Enables Differentiated Instruction
Technology serves as a tool to create and present instruction that is intriguing to students. When learning is relevant to students and grasp their attention they retain information from the lesson 3
SumDog Uses game based learning to build maths fluency
It is a proven scientific digital education tool that engages learners in collaborative mathematical actions
SumDog is aligned to the Common Core and key state standards.
SumDog adapts classes to match personal requirements of learners & provides progress findings to evaluate mastery of education qualities (Tesch, 2017)
Sum Dog is a scientifically proven and evidence-based digital learning tool that engages students in interactive mathematical activities. It is aligned to the Common Core and key state standards. It adapts lessons to meet individual student needs as well as providing progress reports to assess mastery of learning standards. In the math classroom, students can get on Sum Dog to practice learned skills independently after a mini-lesson. They can use the progress reports to reflect on their learning and set their own pace. Teachers may use the assessment data to guide their lessons and to provide differentiated instruction based on needs of individual student.

How SumDog works Educators may use Sumdog to strengthen skills & ideas in 4 subjects: math, reading, writing, & spelling
Educators can have students play independently during their choice of academic time & enabling Sumdog to chose the question a learner gets
Educators may also allocate certain Common Core State Standards (CCSS) & questions to learners, making useful for assessing kids after teaching the class certain skills (Tesch, 2017)
When students log in, they can view assignments that the teacher has given them and can access games. When kids first play, Sumdog figures out what level of questions are appropriate for each student. If students feel the problems are too easy at first, tell them to stick with it; as kids answer questions correctly, the difficulty increases until students reach their "just right" level. Students will enjoy the games, which have good, though not great, graphics and sound. When kids log in, their dashboard shows any assessments or challenges that the teacher has for them. They can also choose different subjects and topics for their games if the teacher has allowed it. The 25 games all follow the same format: Students answer some questions, play the game for a short amount of time, answer some more questions, play the game again, etc. Some students will enjoy competing with their classmates in games, while others may find this intimidating. Students don't need to be working on the same skill to compete, just playing the same game. One kid might be multiplying fractions and playing against a friend who is multiplying integers. Through it all, students earn coins that they can spend on items for their avatar's room.

Efficiency studies, case studies, regular focus groups & questionnaires guide SumDog’s teachings The efficiency of this concept is hampered by the fact that educators can only employ words that are already in Sumdog
Student accounts We don’t allow children to set up their own Student logins directly. Sumdog’s Student accounts must be created by a Teacher User or a Parent User (this includes guardians). Teacher and parent accounts need to be confirmed by email, in keeping with good practice and the requirements of COPPA (for US users). Encryption, and keeping your information safe We encrypt your information using SSL while it’s being transferred between your computer and our servers. On your web browser, you’ll see a padlock beside the Sumdog web address. Clicking the padlock gives you the details of our security certification.

Google Classroom It is a free web service created by Google for schools Focus on simplifying, developing, distributing & grading tasks in a paperless concept It is an immense resource for class management & students teamwork Educators are able to establish classes, post messages, incorporate a class resource page for learners, establish & allot homework, & record evaluation data Leaners can share their assignments & collaborate electronically (Iftakhar, 2016)
Google Classroom is a free web service, developed by Google for schools, that aims to simplify creating, distributing, and grading assignments in a paperless way. The primary purpose of Google Classroom is to streamline the process of sharing files between teachers and students.[3] Google Classroom combines Google Drive for assignment creation and distribution, Google Docs, Sheets and Slides for writing, Gmail for communication, and Google Calendar for scheduling. Students can be invited to join a class through a private code, or automatically imported from a school domain. Each class creates a separate folder in the respective user's Drive, where the student can submit work to be graded by a teacher. Mobile apps, available for iOS and Android devices, let users take photos and attach to assignments, share files from other apps, and access information offline. Teachers can monitor the progress for each student, and after being graded, teachers can return work along with comments.

Google Classroom cont.. An educator can develop a math class & upload videos which may be utilized as flipped class lesson By viewing the videos learners can study the topic of the lesson & finish the assignment posted on Google Classroom. Learners have the alternatives to work independently or ins trivial groups Learners can share their assignments with other students across the globe, hence, renders it simple to teamwork & connect within & outside the environment of the classroom It is fast, paperless, no endless printing, and a quick feedback system (Iftakhar, 2016)
Google Classroom is another great resource for classroom management and student collaboration. Using this service, teachers can create classes, post announcements, add a class resource page for their students, create and assign homework, and record assessment data. Students are able to share their work and collaborate electronically. 8
Google Classroom cont.. Precaution when using is google classroom is the concern for privacy for learners & Google’s use of Student data.
