TEACHING AND LEARNING MATHEMATICS WITH TECHNOLOGY

Exploring Math with Technology:
Practices for Secondary Math Teachers
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.

McCulloch, Lovett, and the 23 brilliant secondary teachers showcased in the book are thought leaders in guiding educators on how to integrate technology in the math classroom. They capture the essence and vision of what equitable teaching should look like when using technology. As they share engaging exemplar lessons, vignetters with student work, and videos, educators can learn how to bring this vision to life in their own classrooms so that each and every student can use dynamic technology to build insights, deeper conceptual understanding, and confidence as mathematicians. A must have book for all educators!

This is a really rare examination of teachers, students, math, and technology, one with a keen understanding of their value individually but also the ways that thoughtful pedagogy can multiply that value.

This extraordinary volume features meaningful, practical tools to help you integrate technology into your classroom in ways that position your students as mathematical explorers. Rich, high-cognitive demand tasks and vignettes using those tasks in classrooms help you dig deep into teaching mathematics with technology in ways that support meaningful student engagement. The authors make connections to practices and frameworks like the 5 Practices that will help you seamlessly integrate new and innovative technology into your current mathematics teaching practices.
