To order a copy go to: **NORTHERN EDITION: "iMath" Picture Book (Technology)**  YUKON EDITION: What does it mean to use technology in our world? Does it mean that we just rely on the technology when we solve math problems? Do we use number sense as well to try to make sense of it all? Ray has written a picture book entitled, "iMath", based on the Processes of Math found in the Introduction to the new math IRPs. This book looks at the role of technology both in our lives, and within the math class!
