Using ICT in Primary Mathematics - Practice and Possibilities (Paperback)

This book explores the development and current classroom applications of hardware and software for primary mathematics. The authors review available software (including data handling programs, Logo and control, ILS, maths adventures and 'drill-and-practices' software) and consider why these have not gained wider acceptance among primary teachers. They consider pedagogy and best practice in mathematics, rather that structures imposed by technology. The book provides powerful examples of ways in which ICT can be effectively integrated into the mathematics curriculum. The authors take account of the National Numeracy Framework, and look at possible new directions in educational software, hardware and resources.
