Introduction to Digital Math Tools in Education
📌 Digital skills are essential in the 21st century, necessitating the use of electronic-based media in learning to prevent students from becoming digitally illiterate.
📐 Educators must understand and use electronic-based math tools before teaching them to students, especially concerning numeracy.
🧑‍🏫 This session introduces various examples of electronic math tools and demonstrates their practical application in teaching.

Examples of Electronic Math Tools
🧮 Electronic Calculators (Regulator Calculators): Useful for teaching basic arithmetic operations in foundational levels (e.g., Phase B) through engaging, simple games.
⚖️ Electronic Scales (Timbangan Elektrik): Can be used to teach students in Phase C how to compare the mass measurements of different objects.
🌡️ Digital Thermometers: Effective media for teaching temperature measurement, such as assigning students to measure the temperatures of various objects.
📱 Smartphone Applications: Useful for older students who can use smartphones with adult supervision, including apps like Angle Meter for measuring angles.
📏 Ruler/Length Measurement Apps: Features in these apps often allow conversion between different units of length, such as converting from centimeters (cm).
💨 Room Temperature Apps (Thermometer Apps): These apps, which measure temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit, can be used to compare temperatures, for instance, between indoor and outdoor environments.

Application Examples in Numeracy Learning
🎲 "Broken Calculator" Game: A 10–15 minute warm-up activity where teachers instruct students as if one key on the calculator is malfunctioning, requiring creative problem-solving to reach target numbers (e.g., achieving 11 using $4 \times 4 - 3$).
📐 Angle Measurement Assignments: Utilizing the Angle Meter application as homework for advanced students (Phase C), requiring parental guidance during installation and use for measuring angles, such as those found on household stairs.
💡 Teachers are encouraged to encourage creativity by having students measure the angles of various other objects, not just stairs.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ The goal is to ensure students learn to use electronic-based tools accurately and apply this knowledge in daily life.
➡️ Electronic tools can be physical devices or smartphone applications, each presenting unique advantages and disadvantages.
➡️ Utilize tools like the calculator game for basic arithmetic engagement and apps like Angle Meter for applied measurement tasks with older students.
