NETS Main NETS for Students Essential Conditions Standards for Students ... Distinguished Achievement Award Mathematics Learning Activities Search Lessons and Units Database Technology is an important resource for teaching and learning mathematics. Calculators, computers, and the World Wide Web are invaluable for students and teachers in the classroom. Technology allows students to visualize and experience mathematics in heretofore impossible ways, engage in real-world (rather than contrived) problem solving, perform rapid and complex computations, and generate their own representations of their own learning. Furthermore, technology allows students to undertake projects that connect with global communities, integrate mathematics with other subjects, and fit students' individual needs and interests. Information and communications technologies provide resources for enhancing, modifying, and connecting mathematics education to real-world applications. Resources that support this learning include the Internet, graphing calculators, simulation and spreadsheet software, real-time videoconferencing, and virtual reality simulations. The Technology Principle is one of the guiding principles of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics' Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM, 2000). It states, in part: "mathematics instructional programs should use technology to help all students understand mathematics and should prepare them to use mathematics in an increasingly technological world" Technology facilitates the transition from traditional mathematics to real-world problems. Instruction in mathematics is shifting from topics taught in isolation to presenting realistic problems to student researchers.

Bringing the Real World into the Classroom Education-business partnerships promote practical skills and creativity in mathematics and science classrooms. by Helen C. Mao High school teachers apply guitar-manufacturing concepts to classroom lessons. A middle school student and his classmates invent a new way of carrying books. Engineers work with elementary and middle school students to design, build, and market toys. Although these images may seem unconventional, they are growing more common as increasing numbers of businesses are becoming involved in mathematics and science education reform. A Call for Basic Skills The formation of education-business partnerships is one result of Goals 2000. These partnerships not only help cultivate real-world mathematics and science skills in the classroom, but also teach students how to apply these skills to their everyday lives. Learning through Invention One such education-business partnership is the FutureMakers Inventor/Mentor Program . Developed with the Business-Education Compact of Portland, Oregon, and the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, the program helps Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington middle school teachers and their students work with business partners to create inventions that solve problems in the workplace. Aligned with national and Oregon state education standards in science, mathematics, art, social studies, and language arts, FutureMakers aims to show students how mathematics and science concepts underlie product development and invention.
