Abstract

This chapter discusses the use of information and communications technology (ICT) in mathematics education from primary to tertiary level. The focus is on how ICT has been, or could be used, in enhancing the teaching and learning of mathematics, particularly in the Singapore context. Four main ICT tools, namely hand-held technology, dynamic geometry software, computing and programming tools and e-learning, are examined. Our examination of each tool entails, the why, what and how of the tool and research on the use of the tool in Singapore schools.
