Interactive Mathematics is an educational resource that is currently developed to take advantage of modern IT capabilities and inductive pedagogy to upgrade the classrooms.
It has become increasingly harder to teach students using traditional textbooks, but the education industry has still been among the slowest to adopt technological change. The Pisa results have been a wake-up call in the United States and Europe. Failures in the education systems are a foremost concern if we want to ensure a better future for all nations and the generations to come. Students proficient in maths are more likely to participate in post-secondary education and access better-paying and more rewarding jobs.
OECD countries invest over 230 billion dollars each year in mathematics education, but the main issue remains: Today's education has not kept up with the times. A 21st century curriculum can't be taught using 19th century methods. Doctors have a constant access to technical aids, but what support does teachers have?
A modern school needs to develop the skills and abilities that a modern society requires. Digital competence has been acknowledged as one of the eight key competences for lifelong learning by the European Union. It's key to employability and improved life chances. Two thirds of people employed use a computer in their daily work. IT has completely changed the workplace, but why not the school that should prepare for the workplace?
