Tablets as Elementary Mathematics Education Tools: Are They Effective and Why

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Mathematical Learning and Cognition in Early Childhood

Abstract

Teachers and parents are being asked to incorporate tablet computers into their children’s education in the hopes that this new technology will prepare students for the challenges of the twenty-first century (Barack in School Library Journal 57(3):58–60, 2011; Ludwig and Mayrberger in World Conf Educ Multimed Hypermed Telecommun 2012(1):2179–2187, 2012). Further, mathematics apps aimed at children account for the greatest number of education apps in the iTunes store (Shuler in iLearn II: an analysis of the education category of the iTunes app store. The Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop, New York, 2012). Unfortunately, there is little consensus on whether or not tablets are effective mathematics education tools and studies seem to provide contradictor explanations about why tablets help children learn math. To address this confusion, we conduct a systematic review of tablet math research from kindergarten to grade 5 published between 2012 and 2017. From the review, it becomes clear that the outcome measures (i.e. math engagement , attitudes, and achievement) and learning theories used in research ultimately determine the answer to whether tablets are useful mathematics education tools and why.
