Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate how interactive white board technology can support and change teaching practices used to develop computation strategies and mathematical discourse of four elementary classrooms teachers. Through the use of the Interactive white board, the teachers will be able to create pathways to represent students' mathematical thinking that will support a progression from more concrete to more symbolic computation strategies. Teachers will also develop and model a common classroom mathematics language that can improve students' skills in mathematical explanation. Our research design will be a mixed-method design using observational data analysis, pre-post rating inventories, pre-post student assessments and teacher interviews. We anticipate the teachers showing growth in their ability to select supportive teaching practices as their knowledge of different mathematical representations emerge from their use of the interactive whiteboard tools.
