Mobile technologies influence the way that we interact with the world the way that we live. We
use them for communication entertainment information and research. In education settings
there has been substantial investment in mobile devices often without a concomitant investment
in developing pedagogy and practices. With mobile technologies evolving rapidly and the number
of educational apps growing there is a need for research into how they facilitate mathematics
learning. Such research is of particular importance regarding how such devices may be used to
open up new ways of envisaging mathematics and mathematics education and to help develop
conceptual rather than procedural or declarative knowledge.This volume draws upon international
research and reports on a range of research projects that have incorporated mobile technologies
for mathematics education. It presents research on the use of mobile technologies such as
iPads iPods iPhones Androids and Tablets across a diverse range of cultures year levels
and contexts. It examines the ways in which mobile technologies including apps might
influence students' engagement cognition collaboration and attitudes through the reshaping
of the learning experience. In addition the book presents appropriate ways to integrate mobile
technologies into teaching and learning programmes.It is a significant reference book for those
involved with teaching mathematics or using mobile technologies in education while also
offering insights and examples that are applicable to the use of digital technologies in
education generally.
