The use of teaching media in mathematics lessons wins both at the level of lesson planning and lesson realization in importance. Against the background of constructivist learning theories shows that the reflective use of computer programs, among other things mathematical concept formation in the long term. For example experimenting with computer programs allows mathematical structures to be discovered, without this being overshadowed by individual routine operations (such as term transformation) would be covered up. This has far-reaching consequences for mathematics lessons. For this reason, this seminar aims to provide students the necessary decision-making and action skills to prepare future mathematics teachers for their professional activities. Starting from initial considerations about lesson planning, computers and tablets with regard to their respective didactic potential and tested with learners during a classroom visit. The exemplary systems presented are:
- dynamic geometry Software: Geogebra
- Spreadsheets: Excel
- Apps for Smartphones and tablets
The students should develop teaching sequences, which will then be tested and reflected on with pupils (where this will be possible).
