TEACHING MATHEMATICS USING TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the contributions of digital technologies to mathematics teaching in the classroom, comparing traditional methods and technological resources in the learning process. Traditional methods, based on expository explanations, textbooks, and manual exercises, while fundamental to the development of mathematical reasoning, often limit students' ability to apply concepts in a contextualized and dynamic manner. On the other hand, the use of technologies—such as mathematical software, applications, virtual platforms, and digital learning objects—has proven effective in making content more interactive, visual, and accessible, enabling more active and personalized learning. Research indicates that a balanced integration of traditional pedagogical strategies and technological resources offers a more inclusive, participatory teaching environment adapted to the demands of the 21st century. Technologies do not replace the role of the teacher, but rather serve as allies in promoting meaningful teaching focused on the development of essential skills, such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and intellectual autonomy.
