Practical Use of Technology for Mathematics Education

The purposes of this paper are to understand the functions of technology TI92 graphing calculator and to develop some typical examples showing that current Korean secondary school mathematics curriculum can be treated with the technology. This study is consisted with five chapters. In Chapter 1, the background and purposes for this study is described. In Chapter 2, the textbooks developed by Core-plus Mathematics Project to reform mathematics education in the United states are analyzed to find the possibilities for practical uses in mathematics classrooms. In Chapter 3, the functions of TI-92 are analyzed with regard to how they can be applied to mathematics education. In Chapter 4, some examples are developed to show that TI-92 can be used for Korean secondary school mathematics education. Chapter 5 is consisted with summaries of this study and some suggestions for further study.
