Using ICT in Maths

An Introduction

This website was set up as part of a Gatsby Fellowship Project. It contains a range of ideas and resources for using ICT in Maths.

The projects are grouped in seperate pages, which can be found using the links on the Projects page.

About the Resources

The resources avalivable on this site are grouped into projects. Each project focusses on a particular aspect of using ICT in a maths classroom. The two current projects focus on using interactive whiteboards with two different software packages, MS Excel and Pro/DESKTOP.

It is best to view the projects from these web pages as there is information about the resources. The resources are also organised into sections and easily accessed. It is possible to download all of the resources through the Resources page.

About the Author

I have been teaching Mathematics at South Hunsley School for twelve years. I have been interested in using ICT in the classroom since the beginning of my teaching career. During my time at South Hunsley, I have developed a wide range of resources using a number of software packages. These have included LOGO, Omnigraph, Cabri Geometre, Derive, QBasic, Access, ProDesktop, PowerPoint, Smart Notebook and Excel. I have also delivered training on a number of these resources to teachers and trainee teachers at South Hunsley and elsewhere.

I have used ICT in the classroom extensively with my groups, and have recently had an interactive whiteboard installed in my classroom. I have also taught ICT at a range of levels.

During the last three years, I have been working on two projects funded by Gatsby Technical Education Projects. The first was a joint project with Rob Wright and Mike Cargill. This looked at how Pro/Desktop, a CAD software package, could be used in a Maths classroom. The second project was undertaken as a Gatsby Teacher Fellowship. This involved creating resources using MS Excel for use on an interactive whiteboard.

This website was created to publish the work from these two projects and any further work I undertake on using ICT in Maths. I hope you find it useful!
