ABSTRACT

We present the preliminary results of a survey of technology-based mathematics education among Texas high schools and colleges. In our survey, we have focused on the type of technology used (mathematics software, web-based instruction, statistical software, etc.), the proportion of courses that used technology, and the effectiveness of these tools in teaching mathematics.
