The advent of super calculators which are cheap, portable and personal has made the mechanics of mathematical processing automatic. When all students have this portable power, how do we as mathematics teachers avoid simply showing them which button to press? What is "doing Maths" now?

We think it takes a lifetime to learn how to teach mathematics using ever-changing technology. It takes a new way of looking at mathematics and mathematics education. It takes conversations with colleagues to spark the grand ideas that are within, and it takes hard work to develop the learning and assessment strategies that will create confidence, competence and a desire to learn in our students.

Included in the talk will be a demonstration of a range of cheap, super graphics calculators and their companion Calculator Based Laboratory (CBL), with the famous bungee-jumping beer can!

Whilst an evening at Nottingham is not a long time, nor will it replace years of experimentation, it is a good local opportunity to talk about ideas that could change the way you teach mathematics.
