STUDENTS’ DIFFICULTIES

• Students’ difficulties in Mathematics and Statistics highlighted in the Research literature. • Many students appear to struggle with Algebraic concepts and also ideas in Number such as fractions and powers • So how can we help students who are struggling in mathematics? • And how can we extend the gifted and talented?

BYOD (BRING YOUR OWN DEVICE)

• Many schools going with the BYOD idea for teaching and learning • How can technology help students in mathematics?

USES OF BYOD IN TEACHING AND LEARNING • Use of calculator in BYOD • Research – for example, students can conduct research on 

a mathematician (e.g Fermat)



a mathematical idea (Pascal’s triangle) or



the history of mathematics

USE OF BYOD • BYOD can also be used as a tool for:  Scaffolding learning  Increasing thinking skills  Enhancing conceptual understanding  Extending the more able students
