Researching technologies is an assignment I personally found really difficult, I couldn’t quite grasp the concept and therefore I had to ask another peer for extra help. Once choosing my area of interest which was mathematics, I then started searching for a book, journal article, referred conference paper, website and podcast in regards to teaching children the concepts of mathematics using different types of technologies.

The following websites helped me to gain the information I was looking for in regards to the information that was requested from me…
