ICT in Maths• Natural linkage between ICT and Maths.

o Problem solving, formula, logic.

• ICT has been used in maths for years.o Calculators, graphical calculators

• Teachers felt it important to use computers, but not just for the sake of it – it had to enhance learning.

Maths software• Programming languages e.g. LOGO

• Maths specific software:o Geometer’s Sketchpad

– construct geometric objectso Autograph o Omnigraph

• General purpose software:o Spreadsheets – modelling real world problems. Creating graphso Databases – sorting and classifying data. How to represent data.o Word processor - Equation Editor for writing mathematical notation

graph plotters

Benefits of using ICT• Instant feedback – encourages testing ideas

• Observing patterns – speed of calculations

• Seeing connections – viewing data in different ways

• Data – large amount, realistic results

• Algorithms – abstraction, explicit thinking
