Abstract

Curriculum and Pedagogy

Education Systems

This paper arises from a larger study that aims to investigate how primary school teachers use the Internet for teacher professional development and for teaching mathematics. Through compilation of interview data and classroom observations from one primary teacher, it was found that this teacher uses technology and particularly the Internet as an integral component of her daily mathematics teaching, and regards the Internet as vital to her teaching style. This report provides an examination of the way this teacher integrates the Internet into her mathematics teaching, reasons to use the Internet in teaching mathematics, the benefits for students, and how this approach aligns the intent of the new Queensland mathematics syllabus. The results are discussed in the light of new learning in New Times.
