This book provides a fundamental reassessment of mathematics

education in the digital era. It constitutes a new mindset of how

information and knowledge are processed by introducing new interconnective and

interactive pedagogical approaches. Math education is catching up on

technology, as courses and materials use digital sources and resources more and

more. The time has come to evaluate this new dynamic, which transcends all

previous use of ancillary devices to supplement classroom math instruction. Interactivity

and interconnectivity with the online world of math and math texts (such as

television programs and internet sites) can be integrated with our traditional

modes for delivery of math instruction.This book looks at how this

integration can unfold practically by applying these relevant pedagogical

principles to elementary topics such as numeration, arithmetic, algebra, story

problems, combinatorics, and basic probability theory. The book further

exemplifies how mathematics can be connected to topics in popular culture,

information technologies, and other such domains.
