Technology application in the mathematical learning

Abstract

The teaching of mathematics these days can turn multidisciplinary with a great and significant content when making use of technology and project-based learning. This work arises as an answer of the Comprehensive Reform in the Development of Competencies petition, the proposal in the educational improvement by the constructive lineup of John Biggs and Collis, as well as Marzano´s use of significant knowledge and mental habits. The implementation of this engineering project was with teams of students from the first semester of different engineering majors in the subjects of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. The evaluation of collaborative work in the classroom and computer room about mathematic laws, calculations, and mathematical software, as well as the reliable investigation on internet about the context and dimension of projects resulted in the creation of the first project contest, where every student showed their motivation and excellent development, the interaction of technology use and the mathematical learning.
