Book excerpt: Research on technology integration in elementary school mathematics has been relatively understudied. At the research site, no research was conducted to examine the experiences of math teachers regarding the mandated integration of technology into the Grade 5 math curriculum. Grade 5 students were not passing state tests and were not meeting adequate yearly progress (AYP). The research question was "What were Grade 5 math teachers' experiences with integrating technology into the curriculum in order to help their students improve their proficiency in math?" The conceptual framework was based on the social learning theory. The sample was six Grade 5 math teachers who had integrated technology into the curriculum in order to help students improve their proficiency in math. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews that were audio taped. Data were analyzed using line-by-line analysis for emergent themes. All participants reported having positive experiences regarding the integration of technology into the Grade 5 math curriculum and have been helping daily students learn math with math software.
