Compare Values
◦ Geometry Drawing Programs ◦ Used to make and
verify conjectures◦ Visually prove or
disprove the conjecture using software
◦ Spreadsheets◦ Can be used to
generate patterns from formulas
◦ Verify predictions◦ Write formulas
◦ Word Processing
◦ Write research reports
◦ Present findings from mathematical investigations
◦ Incorporate spreadsheets, graphs, and equations (very valuable skill to have)
◦ PowerPoint presentations
Computer Software
Have your students… o Explore
mathematic concepts and history
o Develop presentations using the research they discover
o Locate information on a topic they are currently studying to help deepen their understanding of the topic
Research It!
You can… o Develop
WebQuests and send them on a scavenger hunt to discover new knowledge
Get Creative!
IN MY CLASSROOM I WILL INSTILL IN MY STUDENTS A LOVE FOR LEARNING. BECAUSE OF OUR
CONSTANTLY CHANGING WORLD, I WILL INCORPORATE TECHNOLOGY IN MY EVERYDAY INSTRUCTION.
