Abstract
Transition from Realistic to Real World Problems with the Use of Technology in Elementary Mathematical Education
Highlights
The adoption of mathematical concepts in the earliest periods of education, affects the performance in mathematics, and other aspects of education [6], [8]
We present the use of technology in the process of learning mathematics through real life situations
The application of technology in the education process and finding appropriate real world situation to illustrate the use of mathematics, are not straightforward
Summary
The adoption of mathematical concepts in the earliest periods of education, affects the performance in mathematics, and other aspects of education [6], [8]. One of the approaches, called realistic mathematics, deals with the way of learning mathematics where students acquire mathematical concepts through a context that is understandable and close to them. The idea of realistic mathematics education has been set up by Hans Freudenthal [9] He argued that mathematics is a humanistic achievement and must be connected to reality, close and understandable to students and important to society. According to Steinbring, mathematical knowledge is formed by linking experiences through interaction with ideas, processes or structures [20]. This is the reason why we should find ways of teaching mathematics with technology that can be applied in practice.
