Mobile Learning - In the beginning was the Abacus

"Mathematics is difficult. Mathematics is complicated. Mathematics is boring."

Fortunately or unfortunately, it is important for mathematics. Mathematics is the most common theme in almost all professions, and often demand high-paying job for someone who can "deal".

According to the 2007 Department of Education statistics, only 31% of students score at or above the eighth-level "master" of standardized tests of mathematics. In some school districts approach to algebra high school failure rate of 50%.

Sincefirst curve, the teaching and learning of mathematics has always been a challenge. Developed over the past two decades, educational "technology" and have investigated the use of computers specifically for the teaching of mathematics. The need for a portable device for mathematical applications for development in recent decades.

The recent past has seen some advanced calculator created by leading manufacturers such as Casio and Texas Instruments, which are designed to provide specific applications have beenLearn mathematics.

Also offered to help TI handheld mathematical solutions to many challenges, such as teachers, students with the mathematical concept known problems in "real time" has had, and the chance to experience and explore concepts independently, as they are taught.

The availability of a ubiquitous technology, such as M-learning can play an effective role in teaching and learning of mathematics.

In Cellphonometry article ": Can kids really learnFrom the mathematical smartphone? "The writer details how to help schools successfully working with mobile phone companies to capture the math to children. The results speak for themselves.

Similarly, as an experiment by the National Taiwan Normal University conducted the ability to connect mobile student learning, the dots between mathematical theories and solve practical problems, and improved their attitudes towards learning mathematics.

The reason traditional mathematics is boringit is often because the lessons taught as numbers of a static page. Mathematics is an interactive self-subject, and students should be able to visualize and understand math concepts to understand. Mobile learning is the key.

Including video examples of data collection, animated graphics and packaging of mathematics education with a unique built-in media, mobile learning students are able to maximize the interactive nature of the technology to communicate effectively, whatever else a hard objectto learn.
