Week 9 Math, Technology and Culturally Relevant Curriculum


Technology is becoming more of an everyday phenomenon. As teachers we need to incorporate it appropriately within our classroom. You will need to find 2 activities using technology in your classroom.

First, find one activity within your grade band that would be useful to help parents understand how the calculator can be used to develop mathematical concepts.

Second, find an activity that incorporates mathematics in a culturally relevant manner using mathematics appropriate for your grade band.
In both descriptions, include the specific mathematical concept being covered.
Why did you select these 2 activities? What myths and fears do they address?
