Exploring Math with Technology Practices for Secondary Math Teachers

Description

This timely book provides support for secondary mathematics teachers learning how to enact high-quality equitable math instruction with dynamic mathematics-specific technologies. Using practical advice from their own work as well as from interviews with 23 exceptional technology-using math teachers the authors develop a vision of teaching with technology that positions all students as powerful doers of mathematics using math-specific technologies (e. g. dynamic graphing and geometry applications data exploration tools computer algebra systems virtual manipulatives). Each chapter includes sample tasks advice from technology-using math teachers and guiding questions to help teachers with implementation. The book offers a rich space for secondary math teachers to explore important pedagogical practices related to teaching with technology combined with broader discussions of changing the narratives about students – emphasizing the mathematics they can do and the mathematics they deserve. Accompanying online support materials include video vignettes of teachers and students interacting around technology-enhanced tasks in the classroom as well as examples of more than 30 high-quality technology-enhanced tasks. | Exploring Math with Technology Practices for Secondary Math Teachers
