A boost to math learning at our fingertips?
The development of multi-touch surfaces has created opportunities for learning, including touchscreen desks. Researchers from Durham University in the UK have been exploring collaborative learning in mathematics using these desks. They created a group and whole-class multi-touch activity, called NumberNet, and in this article they describe their research into its effectiveness. In particular, they wanted to know whether it improved students' mathematical fluency and flexibility. Results from their quasi-experimental study of 86 students (44 using NumberNet, 42 using a paper-based comparison activity) indicated that while all students increased in fluency after completing these activities, students who used NumberNet also increased in flexibility.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
