Practical Technology Integration into Mathematics Teaching in Elementary Education: Instructional Design Model, Teaching Strategies, and Assessment Techniques

Abstract

In the field of elementary education, integrating technology into mathematics teaching has gained significant attention due to its potential benefits in enhancing student engagement and understanding. As an educator, technology practitioner, and mathematics instructor, it because a fact that elementary students cannot gain efficiently the intended learning outcomes by teaching mathematics away from technology. This study aims to explore the advantages of integrating technology into mathematics education and to discuss the challenges and considerations involved in this process. It describes instructional design model for effective integration and provides examples of practical integration at the elementary education using strategies for successful implementation. It explores assessment methods aligned with instructional goals and highlights implications for teacher professional development. It discusses, suggests, and emphasizes the significance of incorporating technology as a tool to enhance students' mathematical learning experience. Mathematics curriculum of grade 5 in Bahrain public schools was incorporated in the integration.
