Short Description
This study will focus on utilizing the Class Dojo app, a technology-based classroom tool founded by Sam Chaudhary and Liam Don, to engage parents in the mathematics strategies/ concepts that their students are learning in 21st century classrooms. This may lead to an increase in math proficiency and develop a more positive school to home connection as it relates to promoting the importance of problem-solving and strategy-based thinking in the school community.
Abstract
The focus of this session is to encourage educators to engage parents in the concepts of problem-solving through the use of technology. The audience intended includes both educators and parents. It will be a poster presentation.The cognitive development theory will be referenced to address how engaging parents to the mathematics curriculum may influence experiences of children in their math learning through real-world application. It may also change parents' perception of math today as it relates to supporting their child's math literacy development and providing support at home.
