Teaching Arithmetic Mean to Primary Students Using IT: A Case Study Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education Abstract Primary students generally focus on the mechanical procedures of calculations without really grasping the conceptual knowledge of mathematics. As a result, students often have great difficulties in tackling real-life mathematical problems, as the mere knowing of how to carry out computational procedures does not always empower them to resolve the problems on hand. This deficiency of conceptual knowledge in mathematics and reasoning skills has compelled the author to address the knowledge imbalance in the present paper. Specifically, he wants to outline a wide scope of knowledge about data handling topics in the Primary Mathematics Syllabus and discuss ways of eliminating the deficiency addressed above through the constructivist approach to learning and reinforcement of mathematical knowledge by actively engaging the students in an IT-rich learning environment, as well as in the process of problem solving. Keywords : Mathematical reasoning skills, constructivist theory, problem solving. Introduction mention their incompetence in presenting their Much of students’ time and effort is devoted to findings in a proper and meaningful manner. As such, they lack conceptual knowledge of mastering the p
