Previous experience
This module is aimed - in the first instance
- at mathematics educators at the Grades 4-12 level. It is assumed that you:
- Are currently teaching mathematics in any Grade from 4-12;
- Can use Word and Excel. A teacher who
is not a competent user of both programs is not going to
manage.
- Have access to a computer and reliable
email account;
- Have access to computers for your learners
at school (this is not a prerequisite but some aspects of
the module focus on using computers in mathematics classrooms
with either the learner or the teacher making use of computers
in class);
- Have access to the Internet.

curriculum that you would like to teach with the support
of ICT integration.
Click
here to use this template for this assignment.
Describe how you teach/taught that
unit without the integrated use of ICT resources.
- Plan and implement the unit with
the integrated use of ICT. Explain what options you
