Can you give me any information, either articles or the names of books, concerning the use of computers in the math classroom?

Thank you.
Rosemary

Hi Rosemary,

The following are some sites I find of particular interest and useful. These are geared to secondary school. I teach mathematics and computer science, so I depend on internet resources. I also have some elementary and intermediate level sites, but wasn't sure which you wanted.

A research article on the relationship between computer use and mathematics achievement:

Some internet sites that deal with computers and mathematics education are:

Good Luck,

Footnote: There is a document called "Does It Compute? The Relationship Between Educational Technology and Student Achievement in Mathematics" that you can see at http://www.ets.org/research/pic/ I found it quite worthwhile reading.
