"We all want students to see relationships between the world around them and the math they learn in school. We want them to become curious—seeing math as a tool to aid in their explorations. As my classroom incorporates rich contexts and experiments, I’ve found even a single iPad to be an indispensable tool both in mathematical modeling and classroom discussions."
I presented at MACUL 2014 on how I use technology in my math class. For those of you who don't have access to the conference app, I thought I'd post my materials online as well.

Along with incorporating technology into my classroom there has been a process of working out the kinks. You can see the process pretty well in the evolution of my classroom iPad stand.

| Here's the schematic I drew up for my school's implementation of iPads and Apple TVs in our elementary classrooms. If you have an HDMI projector, the HDMI to VGA convertor is not needed. However, sound becomes an issue; other than through HDMI, the Apple TV only has a digital optical out option. The solution is to run 3.5mm audio cords from the projector back to the analogue computer speakers. |  |
