This presentation discusses how technology can help facilitate third grade students' learning of multiplication. It provides examples of blogs, websites, videos and other digital resources that can engage students and relate to different learning styles. These include interactive math games, instructional videos, and worksheets. Integrating these technologies gives students additional learning aids and helps them develop 21st century skills while gaining a better understanding of multiplication.

Third Grade Unit

2. Overview
In this presentation I will show how
various forms of technology, such as blogs,
interactive websites, and video clips, are
beneficial and facilitate third grade
students’ learning of Multiplication.

3. Rationale for the Integration of Technology
Math is often a subject that is disliked by students. It is common for
students to be discouraged by math and have trouble processing the material
being presented. However, by using technology in the classroom we can eliminate
this problem. With the integration of technology, students will constantly be
engaged by using and referring to interactive websites and activities. With the
help of technology, materials can be presented in various forms, thus relating to
different types of learning styles. Also with technology, students will have
access to additional informational resources and aids which will make processing
math easier. Lastly, by using technology in the classroom students will not only
receive a better understanding of math topics such as Multiplication, but they
will also gain 21st Century skills such as using the computer, internet, and
SMART Board. This presentation will show and provide examples of how
teachers can integrate blogs, apps, interactive websites, songs, videos and
SMART Board activities into their everyday lessons.

7. Podcast
• This podcast is by done by Dr. Jason Marshall who
calls himself the ‘’Math Dude ’’. He provides clear
explanations filled with examples that can facilitate
anyone’s understanding of math, and specifically in this

• A podcast is a great resource to use because students
can follow along with the podcast as if they were
listening to a teacher speak but they can also pause
and rewind anything that is unclear to them. This
additional reiteration can help make multiplication
clearer and easier to understand.
