Technology+Assignment+-+461

You will develop a mathematics game for the Family Mathematics Night at. Typically, mathematics games played at home are tactile and don't require the use of technology. For this technology assignment, find a mathematics game (preferably one similar to yours) that is technology-based (iPad, web browser, phone app, etc.). Have a student in your grade level (possibly during your fieldwork hours but it can be a young person you know) play each game and then ask them what they thought about the difference between playing a game with physical manipulatives and playing a game using technology. You may want to consider the following:


 * Were they more engaged with one format over another?
 * Were they able to engage for a longer duration with one of the formats?
 * Did they feel one of the formats assisted them with learning a concept more than the other format?

You are not required to ask these questions but they may be used to guide you. The main idea here is that you get student feedback regarding manipulatives in comparison to technology.

You will write a reflection paper that is 2 to 3 pages long and submit that paper via Turnitin.com
