BASIC APPLICATION OF COMPUTERS IN TEACHING OF MATHEMATICS

Summary/Abstract: The application of computers in teaching of mathematics has brought a welcome innovation and optimism for enriching teaching methods. The students' curiosity, speed, thirst for new information as well as the short attention span —are all a good prerequisite for the introducing information technology into the teaching process. However, the relatively rigid school system results in our students' state of saturation and the occurrence of resistance to school and learning. For that reason, it is important that both students and teachers become initiators of an active, modern teaching process where their role becomes more interesting and significant. Through an adequate usage of computers in teaching mathematics students will experience the subject as wanted and interesting. In this paper, we will talk about how today's generations are using computers, and what is the role of the teacher in the modernized teaching of mathematics. We will talk how the computer is used as an aid for writing and displaying necessary content in teaching mathematics, all through the use of primary programs: Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, GeoGebra, as well as the indispensable Internet browsers. The goal of this paper is to, through the process of using a computer, points to more rational and more efficient teaching of mathematics, so that the students can acquire a better knowledge of mathematics.
