  1. Technology in Mathematics and Science Instruction

    Presented by: Lana Donahue
  2. Historical Overview Math and Science instruction use many tools. The first technological tool used for math was the calculator. The first mechanical calculator was invented around 1642. The first electronic desktop calculator evolved around 1961.
  3. The Calculator In 1967 Texas Instruments invented the first hand held electronic calculator. In 1970 the first shirt-pocket-sized electronic calculator was available but expensive. Also during 1970, the production of mechanical calculators ceased. The mass production of electronic calculators makes them more affordable.
  4. The Calculator By 1978, solar calculators develop and the size of calculators are as small as a credit card. Calculators are mostly used in secondary levels of education and above. Calculator use at the elementary level is still a divided issue. Texas Instruments
  5. Using Technology in Math Provides a variety of ways for learners to develop understanding of new and old concepts. Digital technology, calculators, computers, educational software, and calculator-based laboratories, are some important elements in learning and teaching mathematics.
