  1. Math and Technology Misty Butterfield mbutterfield@graniteschools.org Butter26.wikispaces.com

  2. WHY? Students need to see and explore a concept or idea several times before comprehension and mastery are achieved. • Cooperative learning • Differentiation • Problem Solving • Economical MATH IS REAL LIFE!!!

  3. HOW?? • Many tools are available and easy to use to incorporate technology with math instruction. Podcasts Webquests Internet sites Interactive manipulatives Digital and video cameras Powerpoints, charts, graphs Interwrite or Smart Boards Inspiration or Kidspiration Word Processing Programs

  4. Emotional engagement Attention Learning Reaching all Learners AuditoryTactile/Kinesthetic Visual

  5. Number Sense • Basic Operations Using Excel template • Computation • Place Value

  6. Patterns • Using stamp pad on Interwrite • Links Learning (Illustrated Lessons): Patterns • Garage Band for musical patterns • Patterns in Mathematics: website for whole class on the screen, partners, or on your own.

  7. Multiplication & Division

  8. Use resources to differentiate and explore • Multiplication Strategy from Teacher Tube 3 7 x 7 4

  9. Geometry • Interwrite: symmetry, reflections, rotations… • Inspiration: flow chart of polygons • Digital cameras to capture symmetrical and asymmetrical objects, manmade and from nature • Photo journal:

  10. Measurement • Map Skills: Grid Search Game • The World of Measurement: website that introduces all forms of measurement • Printable Rulers: printing rulers on overhead transparencies makes them bendable.

  11. Money • Online Video Clips: • “Money Essentials for Students” • Discovery Channel: School The MegaPenny Project --a website that helps us visualize huge numbers and their value. Lemonade Stand How long can YOU stay in business? Count the Money Mental math skills! Math at the Mall Shop, Spend, Calculate change

  12. Data and Probability • Graphs of all kinds • Create A Graph • Using Glyphs to generate data • Undersea Treasure: Looking for sunken treasure? Ask a mathematician!

  13. Problem Solving • Interactive Problem Solving • Word Problems with Kate • Teamwork on a wiki

  14. Ties to Literature One Grain of Rice Tiger Math How Much is a Million?

  15. One Grain of Riceby Demi • Share story with the class. • Math concepts include: • Number patterns • Problem Solving • Link to the real world with Free Rice.com • Choose your own subject to practice and feed the world!

  16. Start with data • Enter into Excel

  17. Make a graph Then jazz it up!!

  18. Combine Class Results: Math concepts: mean, median, range,

  19. Podcasts • Record your own songs or demonstrations! • Egyptian Method of Multiplication • Multiples of 3 • Multiples of 7 • Multiples of 6 (CDs for sale!)

  20. Interwrite or Smartboards • Make the basal math games interactive • Grid Search Game • Tic Tac Toe • Teaching tools: lattice multiplication • Students can make their glyphs on their computer screen. • Use clipart to illustrate a word problem or an equation • Use the stamp pad to make patterns

  21. Inspiration Lessons UT Math Standards Match

  22. Powerpoints • Make your own, or student made • Thousands ready and available to use. • Google search for (very) specific topic • But then click on “advanced search” • Narrow file type to “Microsoft Powerpoint (.ppt)” • For example: Decimal Place value system

  23. Perks for Teachers: • Save paper and time • Worksheets using Interwrite/ Smartboard • Self Starts: Math Minute • Students are more engaged • Keep organized with a wikipage • Websites, Interwrite, Podcasts, Downloads, etc
