<p>It may be possible to have just a few PCs in the <br/>mathematics classroom which can be used for work <br/>with small groups of students – say 3 or 4 to a <br/>machine. If there are not enough for the whole <br/>class then some kind of `circus-style’ system of <br/>management will be required with some students <br/>working on tasks away from PCs while others work <br/>with them – maybe changing over during the lesson <br/>or for the next lesson. The kind of activity using the <br/>PC will require careful planning – ideally it should <br/>involve the students working collaboratively as a <br/>group to plan the next move involving the PC. For <br/>example this might be participating in an adventure <br/>game or simulation, or in a problem-solving or <br/>modelling task where the PC is just one of the <br/>available tools. While primary school teachers often adopt such circus-style of activity, with <br/>or without ICT, it is less common in secondary school mathematics and does involve careful <br/>planning.</p> ICT is just another, albeit v…tag:www.classroom20.com,2013-06-23:649749:Comment:9405982013-06-23T13:41:19.921ZZunaira Qamarhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/ZunairaQamar

<p>ICT is just another, albeit very powerful, resource which you, as a mathematics teacher, will <br/>need to consider when planning work for your students inside and outside mathematics <br/>lessons. Of course finance for resources is finite. But there has been a huge public <br/>investment in ICT hardware, software, support and training for education which is ongoing. <br/>Parents, students and teachers have a right to expect that teaching of all subjects in the <br/>curriculum should make the best possible use of ICT resources, and that means that the <br/>selection and deployment of ICT resources should be made to fit the needs of the subject – <br/>and not the reverse. The test of whether it makes sense to deploy ICT in mathematics is a <br/>simple one: “Does it benefit the students’ effective learning of mathematics?”</p> Hi Dorthy,

<p>what kind of strategies have you ever used to promote peer assessment using ICT. I have used e-mail as a medium of communicating among peers to comment on each others work, this helped to keep the confidentiality and reduced the element of humiliation. kindly do share yours.</p>

<p>For revision, suppose students want to practise multiplying out brackets or factorisiong, they could make up some examples, work out the answers, then check them on WolfraAlpha.</p>
<p>I asked a class for homework to make up some questions on the more complex factorisation we had been studying and suggested they use WolframAlpha to check their examples.</p>
<p>My sixth form students (age 17-18) have often used it to check answers for integration for example.</p>
