Technology used to teach, learn, and assess student learning in Mathematics
To Learn Mathematics:
- Can practice geometry and trigonometry with different short cuts the calculator provides
- Can practice graphing data and functions used in mathematics
- Use to compare combinations and values of different numbers
- Use to create different problems they are learning about
- Spreadsheets can be used with measurement to compare and record data
- Word processing can be used to reflect on concepts that have been learned and make graphs
- Presentation programs, like PowerPoint, can be used by students to present information they found to the class
- Interactive white boards, such as a SMART Board, for students to practice problems on the board, also can provide games that the whole class can participate in.
- Digital video cameras can be used for students to make mathematical presentations to demonstrate their understanding of different math concepts.

To Teach Mathematics:
- Can be used to teach about different concepts relating to geometry and trigonometry
- Can be used to teach about graphing and how different values affect the result a graph produces
- Can be used to show entire class examples of how different problems are formulated
- Word processing can be used to create rubrics, worksheets, or other important elements needed within a classroom
- Presentation programs, like PowerPoint, can be used to present information to an entire class
- Use to clarify information to the whole class
- Use to project problems so students can see the teacher work through different problems and concepts
- Create custom mathematical web search on Google
- Use websites, for example YouTube to watch informational videos

To Assess Student Learning:
- All of the resources under learning and teaching mathematics can be used to assess student learning. Each resource provides ways for students to show their understanding of mathematical concepts.
