In another textbook known as Mathematics for Young Children by ( Joseph N.Payne).It states that Math learning can stimulated by the use of microcomputer. It enriches the readers to view of mathematics learning in geometry, problem solving, numeration, and estimation in different perspectives.
The usage of microcomputer has programme that allow math to presented as a field for investigation or as an active tool for examining,or creating patterns to explore the possible relationships and problem solving.It also talks about the programming language known as 'LOGO'.
This LOGO permits children to use and create symbols to explore and extend their emerging knowledge of spatial relationships, geometric properties. This program requires children to organize ideas sequentially/ logically as they think of number in terms of distance, angles and measurementment. Teacher's can use this program to model problem solving strategies, stimulate children's curiosity in learning math concepts in a fun and easy way.
The other technology that I would like to state is the usage of calculator. It will enhance the development of problem solving skills in children , and improve on their attitudes towards learning mathematics.
I personally liked the illuminations website because it provides ideas for teachers of how to compare and coherent a set of learning goals, provides information's about development of curriculum framework, instructional materials, resources for kids, ideas to learn about math mobile and interactive whiteboard where teachers can use the ideas to implement the math activities interestingly for children in the classroom.
The otherr website is the shador , it is online and it is interactive . It also talks about the coursework for exploration in math and science concepts.
