Teacher-Computer Interaction in Teaching a Mathematics Lesson
Keyword(s):
Elementary school teachers are being encouraged to use the computer for mathematics instruction (NCTM 1980). Many are seeking appropriate methods for integrating the computer into their mathematic lessons. Unfortunately, much of the pre ent software must be altered or creatively adapted before it can be incorporated into teacher presentations. The lack of computers in individual classrooms and the lack of regular acce to computer laboratorie are other tumbling blocks that di courage the u e of computers in a regular lesson. The estatement are supported by a survey conducted in Minnesota (Andersen 1984) that showed fewer than 5 percent of the K-8 teacher who responded had ever used the computer for teaching mathematics.
