Throughout the years, students have become more active learners. This is why integrating technology into a lesson is one of the best ways students can learn. Integrating technology into mathematics provides an engaging educational experience for students. By using technology in the classroom gives teachers a way to differentiate instructions for students. There are many different programs teachers can using during a lesson. There is GeoGebra, Desmos, Mathematica and I'm sure teachers can find even more free websites to use. There are also many ways to implement technology in the classroom. Whether it is using the smart board or having the students follow along on their tablets, there are endless possibilities. Attached below is an activity that integrates technology with mathematics. The program used in GeoGebra and students can access the program on tables, computers and smart phones. This lesson talks about how to make a box and whisker plot with given data, which is taught when students are learning to graph.
Using GeoGebra, students followed along with a packet that had step by steps instructions on what to do. I created this packet to allow students to see a different way for students to see a graph that may be new to them. The packet can be seen and dowloaded below. The students can also switch the graphs in order to see the data in a graph they could be familiar with.
Here is the link to the packet with all the step by step directions.
