How can ICT improve the teaching of maths?

ICT can make whole-class mathematics teaching:

Easier Materials and resources can be quickly prepared, stored and retrieved.

Work can be saved for later continuation or review. Work can be displayed or printed out at any stage and easily shared.

Better The medium allows the presentation and flexible manipulation of resources. It engages pupil attention, enables differentiation and facilitates interaction.

Different It allows the presentation of a wide range of resources

(for example, websites), which may not be accessible in any other way.

Common Requirements for IT Skills in Mathematics

Early Years and Key Stage 1

Pupils should be given opportunities to use calculators and computer software, including a database, both as a means of exploring number and as tools for

calculating with realistic data, e.g. numbers with several digits.

Pupils should be given opportunities to experience early ideas of position and movement through practical activity including the use of ICT devices,

e.g. programmable toys, turtle graphics packages.

Key Stage 2

Pupils should be given opportunities to use calculators, computers and a range of other sources, as tools for exploring number structure and to

enable work with realistic data.

Pupils should be given opportunities to extend their understanding of position and movement using a wide range of materials, including

the use of computer software, to create and transform shapes.
