Abstract
Technology can play a pivotal role in mathematics education. Qualitative methods were used to report on how a Year 1–2 teacher incorporated Conveyance technology (iPads), to support the teaching and learning of mathematics through student reasoning and problem-solving. The study was conducted in Australia. A single case was chosen, reporting a lesson where students engaged with a 12-cube task. The findings contribute to the broader discourse on the role of technology in early mathematics education, suggesting that conveyance technology supported by effective teaching practices and open-ended problems, fosters students’ reasoning and problem-solving skills.
