 * Content Area Research:**    **Math Issues and Concerns**
 * When using mathematics, technology can be used to help students learn in ways that differ from the traditional explain and practice approach.
 * Using technology can give students new, interactive problems to see that they otherwise would not be able to consider in a traditional mathematics classroom.
 * Technology in the mathematics classroom can be used as a new way to take quizzes over different material, interact with graphs, and help teach all students various ways to use his/her calculator simultaneously.

**Suggestions for Technology in the Mathematics Classroom**


 * Clickers can be used to test students’ knowledge of new material, understand their comprehension, and give students a fun activity to learn.


 * The SMART Board is a tool that can be used to teach students what you want them to learn while allowing them interact with the material. This is also a faster and more convenient writing tool than the traditional marker board.


 * The document scanner—with or without using the SMART Board at the same time—is a way to show students different pages very quickly. It can also be used to demonstrate numerous techniques, such as how to properly use a calculator.

** Links for Math Students ** **For Parents** This video is an introduction for parents to the SMART Board that we will be using in class throughout the year to learn and solve a variety of math problems: media type="youtube" key="0U05WeXPGlk" height="315" width="560" align="center"
