INTRODUCTION



People around the world had been constantly improving the quality of education. Doing so will require the use of technology in the teaching and learning process. Technology had been a part of the educational system these past decades. As this improves, education also advances. Applying technology in the classroom will both involve the interaction between the students and the teacher. Using it will motivate the students to think and generate their own ideas and concepts. At the same time, it will also give them the opportunity to be computer literates and be in the trend when it comes to technology integration.

Mathematics is a branch of science that deals with numbers, operations, quantities, shapes and the relationships between them. This is an amazing subject, but most students consider this as a very difficult course to learn, others even avert themselves from getting involved in any situations requiring mathematical knowledge. This should not be. Unknowingly, mathematics is in fact a part of our daily lives; even just buying in stores, summing up your bill and counting your change. These simple acts manifest basic mathematical skills. We should all learn to love mathematics!

If we think about it, applying technology in teaching and learning mathematics is not that difficult, if we will be able to do it successfully, students and teachers will gain more knowledge from both of it.

We, the bloggers, had made this page in partial fulfillment of the course requirements in Educational Technology 1. This output manifests how we applied technology in teaching and learning mathematics. This will also be very helpful for our profession as future teachers. This page includes the grade 8 K-12 curriculum mathematics lessons which are Module 8: Triangle Inequalities and Module 9: Parallelism and Perpendicularity. This contains information about its definitions, theorems, postulates and some examples, figures and exercises including interactive videos and games. We hope that you find our work helpful in your mathematical learning.
