 * Mathematics ICT – Applets, Web2.0 & Flipping!**

Using ICT to engage and enrich learning in some subjects is easy. It has been difficult to use ICT in Mathematics to genuinely enhance the learning of Mathematics. Over recent times, many applets have become available to enhance teaching and learning, but staff often don’t know the best way to use these in the classroom.

This session will discuss some teaching tools to assist teachers with their presentation and some learning tools that students can use. Discussion will include: I will briefly share two projects that I have completed with my Year 8 students. The first is on statistics, in which a blog was used by each student. The second is on coordinate geometry where I attempted to flip the classroom.
