Teaching Mathematics Using Technology

In this episode, we explore:

Pedagogy

1- How was maths traditionally been taught and what impact can technology have?

2- Does using technology require a different pedagogical approach to teaching and learning Maths?

3- Should maths be taught through investigations or problem-based learning? Can technology help with this?

Technology

1- Why are there so many options for using technology: GeoGebra, Desmos, Autograph, graphical calculators? What advice would you give to schools making a choice about which ones to use with their students?

2- How are these platforms developing? Are there any new features that teachers might be interested in?

Schools and Teachers

1- If a teacher is nervous about using technology in class where should they start?

2- Which is more important – teachers using technology at the front of the class or students using technology themselves?

3- Should schools allow students to use mobile phones in class?

4- What opportunities are there for teachers to develop their skills?

5- What advice would you give to teachers who are expected to deliver some online/blended learning component for their classes this year? Should teachers use some form of video element for teaching maths?
