Teaching with technology is a vital component of today's elementary mathetmatics teaching, but it's often treated as a "tack-on" rather than a truly integrated component of the curriculum. Elementary Mathematics through Technology walks readers step by step through the process of interweaving math content pedagogy and the most current technology available to enhance the teaching and learning of mathematics. More than mere suggested weblinks, this fresh approach to math methods and content features:

• An overview of digital technologies available today with concrete suggestions for putting them to best practice in the elementary mathematics classroom.
• Effective ways to incoporate social networking tools that today's students know , but that have not yet been embraced in the classroom.
• Technology-based model lessons and sample activities that provide coverage of both the standards as espoused by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and the International Society for Technology in Education standards (NETS).
• Extensive tables, diagrams, graphics, cartoons, and other visual components that help clarify concepts.

Accessibly written and full of examples, strategies, and more, this text is sure to guide pre- and in-service teachers through the necessary thinking to meaninfgully integrate today's technologies, mathematical content, and pedagogy.
