What are the issues around using dynamic mathematical technology in mathematics learning?

  • Dynamic mathematical software consists of tools and environments to support mathematical thinking
  • These offer opportunities to reconceptualise the underlying mathematics through different and linked mathematical representations, accessible to students at different levels
  • Use of graphing software or dynamic work on mathematical objects can help shift focus to underlying concepts
  • Use of dynamic mathematical software can promote collaboration and shift the centre of expertise away from the teacher; teachers should plan for this shift
  • There is a clear need for more good-quality sustained CPD for teachers on the use of dynamic mathematical software, through the use of MOOCs and online toolkits
  • Technology use in assessment and curriculum should be carefully planned for coherence and with teacher support in mind
