Abstract

Integrating math and technology has been shown to enhance the educational future of children today. The integration of interactive technology through the use of electronic whiteboards and gaming to enhance student understanding in mathematics was investigated. High school students (N~80) reviewed content through an electronic whiteboard and gaming. It was shown that gaming through the use of electronic whiteboards increased student achievement in mathematics by ensuring a deeper understanding of the material presented.
