Mathematics and TechnologyTechnology is essential in teaching and learning mathematics as it influences mathematics that is taught and enhances students’ learning. (NCTM, 2000)

Benefits of Using Technology in Mathematics Classroom
• Cognitive connection that brings logic and reasoning
• Deeper mathematical understanding
• Higher levels of generalization & abstractions

Common Use of Technology in Math Classroom
• Animations• Geometer’s Sketchpad Software• Video-clips• Spreadsheets • PowerPoint• Scientific and Graphic
Calculator• Virtual Manipulatives• Computer-assisted Instructional
(CAI) Technology

Manipulatives • Manipulatives are blocks, algebra tiles, cubes, rods,
fraction pieces, and pattern blocks that are used in mathematics classes for students to make meaning of abstract ideas and symbols. (Manches, Claire, Benford, 2009)

Uses of Manipulatives
Manipulative can be used to develop
• -Conceptual understanding
• -Problem solving skills• -Connect mathematical
ideas• -Promote attention • -Increase motivation

Concrete Vs. Virtual Manipulatives
Concrete Manipulatives are physical objects students can manipulate to explore and develop an understanding of mathematical concepts.
Virtual Manipulatives are computer-based simulations of physical manipulatives that can be accessed through the internet or computer software.

Virtual Manipulatives
• Blocks• Tangrams• Spinners• Rulers• Fraction Bars• Algebra Tiles• Geoboards• Geometric Plane• Solid Figures

• Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development
• -Manipulative can be used to provide support in learning from concrete to abstract reasoning
• Theory of Constructivism • -Interaction with the material
they are learning allows active construction of knowledge and understanding through problem solving.(Felder, 2002).

Why Virtual Manipulatives?
• Visual representation of abstract mathematical ideas (Highlight conceptual understanding)
• Scaffold student learning• Actively engage students in
learning process

• Allows students to interact, create, and solve problems created on their own
• Immediate feedback regarding their actions
• Ease of access from anywhere ( Home and School)
