Ensuring
Achievement of
Mathematics
Students
2. SWAT TEAMS
• Implementing technology into the daily
mathematics curricula has become more
complex.
• To promote higher math
achievement, focus must
shift to thinking and
experiencing math concepts
at a higher level and in real
world settings.
3. SWAT TEAMS
1. Clearly defined goals that
promote critical thinking for
student learning and assessment
2. Accessibility and availability of
technological resources and
funding
3. Professional development of
teachers in computer usage
4. Easy, accessible resources to
manage and implement
Successful implementation is dependent
upon several critical factors:

Mathematics Lesson Structure
– US 90% skills
10% application
– Japan 40% skills
15% application
45% developing new
concepts and higher
order thinking
- Based on data from 1999 Trends in
Mathematics and Science Study
(TIMSS)
