Compare Values

◦ Geometry Drawing Programs ◦ Used to make and

verify conjectures◦ Visually prove or

disprove the conjecture using software

◦ Spreadsheets◦ Can be used to

generate patterns from formulas

◦ Verify predictions◦ Write formulas

◦ Word Processing

◦ Write research reports

◦ Present findings from mathematical investigations

◦ Incorporate spreadsheets, graphs, and equations (very valuable skill to have)

◦ PowerPoint presentations

Computer Software

Have your students… o Explore

mathematic concepts and history

o Develop presentations using the research they discover

o Locate information on a topic they are currently studying to help deepen their understanding of the topic

Research It!

You can… o Develop

WebQuests and send them on a scavenger hunt to discover new knowledge

Get Creative!

IN MY CLASSROOM I WILL INSTILL IN MY STUDENTS A LOVE FOR LEARNING. BECAUSE OF OUR

CONSTANTLY CHANGING WORLD, I WILL INCORPORATE TECHNOLOGY IN MY EVERYDAY INSTRUCTION.
