Palm+Math

Teaching math requires opportunities for investigation and practice. Handheld computers can provide these opportunities in and out of the classroom. This page provides some ideas on how to enhance math lessons using a Palm handheld computer.

Calculations
Use **Calc** (installed) or **PowerOne** calculator applications for simple or scientific calculations or creating graphs

Word Problems
Use **MemoPad** to create and beam word problems for students to solve. Ideas:
 * Geometry - //Students use a word bank to write the answers to clues//
 * I'm thinking of a number - //Students determine a number from a series of clues//
 * Writing number sentences - //Students rewrite a statement in numerical form//
 * Number Patterns - //Students complete a series of number patterns// //given//
 * Addition Patterns - //Students complete a series of addition patterns given//
