Using mathematics in the classroom

Judy Chandler is a mathematics teacher and incorporates technology into everyday class. She really recommends teachers using technology to enhance the learning quality of the children. Technology used in everyday classrooms in unison with mathematics can enhance the students learning quite a bit. It teaches the students to use math skills learned in the classroom in everyday life. Nowadays children just learn what they have to in school and don't feel the need to use it. Technology can show them that is fun and very useful. Technology really opens a lot of doors for children that they wouldnt have had in the past. It lets them see how mathematics and other things tie into reality.

Judy Chandler also gives a lot of free resources available to teachers. These websites should be very beneficial for children. Technology has become a really important part of life in today's society. If children are not getting the proper experience with it they are being cheated out of something really wonderful. All teachers should research how they can start bringing in different learning tools with technology.
