Math and technology really go hand in hand. Whether it be that gem website or piece of software that allows you to teach to a specific concept, provide needed reinforcement or to differentiate your instruction technology shines when it is math we are talking about.

Technology allows students to be creative, have fun in the process, and teach themselves ... what more could we ask for when it comes to problem solving and manipulating data!

 * Scratch
 * Math is a natural fit with endless possibilities when teaching with Scratch. Time, percentages, and variables barely scratch the surface of the concepts that can be taught through this program. One can even turn the “Background” into a giant Coordinate Plane to help demonstration motion along the X and Y Axis. Project based learning ... using programming to teach a concept.

Kidspiration's visual math tools focus on the core conceptual foundations of counting, place value, computation and geometric thinking. Students build number sense and spatial reasoning and understand the meaning behind the four basic operations while communicating their thinking with words, numbers and math symbols. Check out the modeling division or mixed numbers and improper fractions videos to get a better idea! ||

"The New Math" is not drill to kill.

Demonstrated the Math Makes Sense Resource CD

Smart Notebook - using the manipulatives

Teachers expressed a issue of finding time for manipulatives especially in a split classroom.

IDEA - using powerpoint, screencapture, macrotheatre or comiclife etc have the students demonstrate a math concept and explain it to the point that martian can understand it!
