The wide availability of digital educational resources for
mathematics teaching and learning is indisputable, with some
notable genres of technologies having evolved, such as graphing
calculators, dynamic graphing, dynamic geometry and data
visualization tools. But what does this mean for teachers of
mathematics, and how do their roles evolve within this digital
landscape? This essential book offers an international perspective
to help bridge theory and practice, including coverage of
networking theories, curriculum design, task implementation, online
resources and assessment. Mathematics Education in the Digital Age
details the impacts this digital age has, and will continue to
have, on the parallel aspects of learning and teaching mathematics
within formal education systems and settings. Written by a group of
international authors, the chapters address the following themes:
Mathematics teacher education and professional development
Mathematics curriculum development and task design The assessment
of mathematics Theoretical perspectives and
methodologies/approaches for researching mathematics education in
the digital age This book highlights not only the complex nature of
the field, but also the advancements in theoretical and practical
knowledge that is enabling the mathematics education community to
continue to learn in this increasingly digital age. It is an
essential read for all mathematics teacher educators and master
teachers.

This survey addresses the use of technology in upper secondary
mathematics education from four points of view: theoretical
analysis of epistemological and cognitive aspects of activity in
new technology mediated learning environments, the changes brought
by technology in the interactions between environment, students and
teachers, the interrelations between mathematical activities and
technology, skills and competencies that must be developed in
teacher education. Research shows that the use of some technologies
may deeply change the solving processes and contribute to impact
the learning processes. The questions are which technologies to
choose for which purposes, and how to integrate them, so as to
maximize all students' agency. In particular the role of the
teacher in classrooms and the content of teacher education programs
are critical for taking full advantage of technology in teaching
practice.
This book comprises chapters featuring a state of the art of
research on digital technology in mathematics education. The
chapters are extended versions of a selection of papers from the
Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Technology in
Mathematics Teaching (ICTMT-13), which was held in Lyon, France,
from July 3rd to 6th. ICTMT-13 gathered together over one hundred
participants from twenty countries sharing research and empirical
results on the topical issues of technology and its potential to
improve mathematics teaching and learning. The chapters are
organised into 4 themed parts, namely assessment in mathematics
education and technology, which was the main focus of the
conference, innovative technology and approaches to mathematics
education, teacher education and professional development toward
the technology use, and mathematics teaching and learning
experiences with technology. In 13 chapters contained in the book,
prominent mathematics educators from all over the world present the
most recent theoretical and practical advances on these themes This
book is of particular interest to researchers, teachers, teacher
educators and other actors interested in digital technology in
mathematics education.
