Chapter 7 Using Technology to teach Mathematics

What I agree most with this chapter is the use of calculator for children's learning of maths. However, before children can start using calculator, they must first grasp the concept to be learned first.  Only after they have fully understand the concept, calcuator can aid them in their checking and further exploration.


I am also strike by the fact that the using of calculator have the positive effect of motivation and improving attitudes. The use of technology such as calculators and computers has made learning easy and so much fun that children are motivated to learn. 


I remembered that I was only allowed to used calculator only when I was in secondary school.
But in today context, every child is most of the time more technology savvy than most adults.  Thus the using of technology to teach in the most logical thing to do and technology should be the mainstay in our modern classrooms.
