Danish experiences with technology in mathematics teaching in upper secondary school

A co-operation between the Association of Mathematics Teachers and the Ministry of Education has resulted in building a new experimental curriculum, based on enhanced use of ICT, which teachers are encouraged to use in their classes in grade 10-12 in the Gymnasium. The old and new curricula are presented, with emphasise on the national written assignments and the intended use of technology in the experimenting classes. The general curriculum problems that ICT has created in teaching mathematics are discussed.
