Abstract

Conceptual understanding plays a critical role in mathematics. However, traditional methods are predominantly focused on procedural knowledge and are insufficient to help students develop this understanding. Therefore, to ensure that students understand mathematical concepts comprehensively, it is necessary to explore alternative, innovative teaching methods that go beyond established practices. In this light, this chapter introduces an informal yet potent approach for teaching statistical graphing in the context of elementary arithmetic with the use of real-time sensors. This approach aligns with the need for teachers to comprehend the rationale behind mathematical concepts deeply as well as encourages students to foster a spirit of inquiry, explore mathematical concepts outside the traditional classroom setting, and question established procedures. By using real-time sensors appropriately with adequate instruction and guidance, students will be able to build a meaningful connection between mathematical concepts and real-life experiences and find mathematics learning more engaging.
