Mobile technologies influence the way that we interact with the
world, the way that we live. We use them for communication,
entertainment, information and research. In education settings,
there has been substantial investment in mobile devices, often
without a concomitant investment in developing pedagogy and
practices. With mobile technologies evolving rapidly, and the
number of educational apps growing, there is a need for research
into how they facilitate mathematics learning. Such research is of
particular importance regarding how such devices may be used to
open up new ways of envisaging mathematics and mathematics
education, and to help develop conceptual rather than procedural or
declarative knowledge. This volume draws upon international
research and reports on a range of research projects that have
incorporated mobile technologies for mathematics education. It
presents research on the use of mobile technologies, such as iPads,
iPods, iPhones, Androids, and Tablets, across a diverse range of
cultures, year levels and contexts. It examines the ways in which
mobile technologies, including apps, might influence students'
engagement, cognition, collaboration and attitudes, through the
reshaping of the learning experience. In addition, the book
presents appropriate ways to integrate mobile technologies into
teaching and learning programmes. It is a significant reference
book for those involved with teaching mathematics or using mobile
technologies in education, while also offering insights and
examples that are applicable to the use of digital technologies in
education generally.
