Presentation Transcript

  1. ‘bring your own device’ (BYOD) in the Mathematics Classroom Mala Nataraj, Selwyn College AMA workshop april 5th 2014 natarajm@selwyn.school.nz malanataraj16@gmail.com

  2. Students’ difficulties • Students’ difficulties in Mathematics and Statistics highlighted in the Research literature. • Many students appear to struggle with Algebraic concepts and also ideas in Number such as fractions and powers • So how can we help students who are struggling in mathematics? • And how can we extend the gifted and talented?

  3. BYoD (Bring your own device) • Many schools going with the BYOD idea for teaching and learning • How can technology help students in mathematics?

  4. Uses of byod in teaching and learning • Use of calculator in BYOD • Research – for example, students can conduct research on • a mathematician (e.g Fermat) • a mathematical idea (Pascal’s triangle) or • the history of mathematics

  5. Use of Byod • BYOD can also be used as a tool for: • Scaffolding learning • Increasing thinking skills • Enhancing conceptual understanding • Extending the more able students

  6. Some examples of use of byod BYOD worksheets that I have developed so far for Years 9-13 are related to the following topics: • Number • Algebraic manipulation • Algebraic graphs • Calculus

  7. conclusion • Thank you very much for attending this session! • Comments, suggestions for improvement and other ideas welcome. • Email : natarajm@selwyn.school.nz • malanataraj16@gmail.com
