See IT, Make IT, Use IT will inspire teachers to start using technology in the classroom. Designed especially to support teachers in the early years of primary schooling (P-4), this resource demonstrates how to create teaching aids and promote computer use within the classroom using tables and drawing tools in Microsoft Word® and basic functions in Microsoft Excel®.

The book contains 32 simple and practical activities that have been organised around 16 tools. The tools include number charts, calendars, tensframes, arrays, location charts, number lines, two- and three dimensional shapes, tangrams, tessellations and graphs.

Each tool features:

• See IT – a description of the tool.
• Make IT – step-by-step instructions for the teacher to create the tool from scratch on the computer.
• Use IT – activities that show how the tool can be used in the classroom to teach mathematical concepts. Suggested variations allow teachers to differentiate the task.
• Help desk – ICT tips and tricks.

The book also contains student task cards for each activity and a CD-ROM of templates and teaching tools that can be adapted by teachers to suit their own classroom needs.
