Technology can be used to promote students' understanding of mathematical concepts and problem-solving techniques. Its use also permits students' mathematical explorations prior to their formal development in the mathematics curriculum and in ways that can capture students' curiosity, imagination, and interest. The NCTM's Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (1989) recommends that “[i]n grades 9–12, the mathematics curriculum should include the refinement and extension of methods of mathematical problem solving so that all students can … apply the process of mathematical modeling to real-world problem situations” (p. 137). Students empowered with technology have the opportunity to model real-world phenomena and visualize relationships found in the model while gaining ownership in the learning process.
