Description of Study Group
The Study Group: Math Trailblazers Integration with Technology aligned interactive technology with units to be taught following the Math Trailblazers Timeline in grades K-5. The use of interactive technology enables students to grasp concepts by using another medium to enhance the instruction of the math strands of Number Sense, Patterns, Relations and Algebra, Geometry, Measurement, Data Analysis, and Statistics and Probability.
Our study group worked to provide ways to enhance classroom math instruction. This collection of resources is not meant as a replacement to classroom instruction, but rather a way to further enhance classroom instruction with technology integration.
In each grade, we have provided resources organized by Unit Number, Unit Name, Unit Vocabulary, Web Resources, SmartBoard Resources, Labs, and in some grades, Student Practice Resources and Open Response Questions.
