ICT to assist math teaching at primary schools

Maths teaching has some specific features in comparison with other subjects taught. It is abstract and realistic, accurate and logical and it has its philosophy. Therefore teaching maths requires a more personalised approach, including highly motivating elements. This, in particular, applies at Primary Schools, as the attitude of children to maths is formed at this level of education. It is about the active involvement and creativity of children, which in turn requires a creative approach to teaching by the teacher. The teaching process can be suitably complemented by using up-to-date information and communication technology. In addition to professional teaching programmes developed by specialists, the teacher an apply a different approach by using commonly used software for developing his/her own teaching programmes.
