Catalog Description
The importance of technology in mathematics teaching; Use of software such as Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) and Dynamic Geometry Systems (DGS), producing and implementing interactive activities through these softwares; evaluation of student products.
Course Objectives
The aim of this course is to provide students understanding basic features of CAS and DGS and the importance of their usage in mathematics instruction. Students will learn some software in detail and by producing and implementing activities by facilititating from those software systems, they would have a change to evaluate their usefulness.
