Abstract

Information and communication technologies (ICT) have the power to transform the traditional mathematics classroom into a dynamic and engaging problem solving community. Designing and implementing a curricular activity system enables a teacher to engage students in community problem solving, error analysis, and dialogue. In turn, a teacher guides students on a learning journey that can lead to multiple solutions and explanations. In order for teachers to master the Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge (TPACK) to design and implement a curricular activity system to engage students with and without learning challenges in the class, they must have it modeled for them in their pre-service programs and be given the opportunity to practice using it. We demonstrate how to design and implement a curricular activity system with technology.
