Technology and Math

21st Century Education... different ways of learning.... different styles of teaching...

Technology is easily available in many schools now. Technology such as smart boards and computers could be used to teaching counting or any math concepts.
My kindergarten uses Mathematics related computer programmes that allow students to practise concepts taught during large group sessions. It acts like a following-up activity to extend learning. The math related programmes include activities such as counting, grouping numbers in tens, addition, subtraction, multiplication and many more.

I would say that technology is an useful tool to teach Math and an interesting tool for children to learn, however I would bear in mind the C.P.A approach of how children learn. It is important for children to go through the concrete and pictorial first before using computer programmes as the follow-up activity.
