What are some of the benefits of using laptops in Mathematics lessons?
The visual, dynamic geometry and graphing capability of GeoGebra and Google SketchUp can enhance students’ engagement and deep understanding of geometry, algebra and measurement in comparison to the static page of a worksheet or text book. The laptop also offers the opportunity to speed up repetitive tasks, particularly graphing of equations; collaborate and investigate dynamic visual mathematics; and make higher order tasks more accessible for all students. Access to the World Wide Web will make answering the age old question students ask, Why do I have to learn this?, easier by showing how mathematics connects to the real world.
