| Popis: | Due to the increased availability of hand-held calculators, teachers at all grade levels must now face the prospect of having to change both how they teach mathematics as well as what mathematics they teach. Since most teachers did not learn mathematics with the help of technology, they need time to adjust to both a new learning environment and a new teaching one. Through federal funds, the Texas Education Agency has created mathematics staff development modules which help teachers learn about calculators, mathematics, and the integration of calculators in mathematics instruction. This article presents games based upon those included in the staff development modules. Each game was designed to promote exploration of mathematical relationships via a calculator, specifically, Texas Instrument's Math Explorer. |
