A Review of Mobile Technology for Teaching and Learning Mathematics

Abstract

Today, the claim of Mathematics is more critical than ever. Almost everything in the world is relying on mathematics. The subjects like mathematics can be known as a requisite subject of the school curriculum which is compulsory for students and cannot be ignored. Because, as it is mentioned earlier mathematics can be known as a crucial subject. There is a general opinion that most students do not like mathematics due to many reasons. However, students’ dislike for mathematics may damage the collaborative other professions as well. This paper examines the reasons for students’ dislike for this subject and will provide the most convenient SMART solution. The methodology used to conduct this research is qualitative and quantitative based survey. The online survey was circulated through Email, Social Media and desk research. The survey was successfully completed by 160 persons securing their secrecy. The shared questionnaire brought strength to the research when identifying the issues. According to the previous work, the technological assistance was the main empirical result that they have suggested in order to minimize this situation. According to the online survey results more than 90% raised their flag on the difficulties that they face during calculations and other algebra by their life time experiences. With the rapid growth of technology and the interest of people towards mobile-based applications, it has been shown that mobile devices can be used as a tool to improve students’ academic skills. Therefore, this paper suggests a new approach to the user, through which the user can build up an interest towards mathematics. Also, these can identify the aspects that are involved in teaching and learning of mathematics as well as the possible solutions.
