ABSTRACT
Mathematics is a branch of science which deals with numbers , shapes , quantity and
structure . Modern mathematics encourages the understanding of all possible
dimensions of mathematics education through application . The role of ICT into
mathematics classroom has intensified in the last two decades . This study investigates
the different roles of ICT that plays in teaching and learning mathematics in the
classroom of secondary level and the functions of the tools in teaching and learning of
different branches of mathematics along with the teachers’ proficiency as a factor and
effective use of technology in the mathematics classroom .
I. INTRODUCTION
Mathematics has always occupied an important position inschool curriculum.
Mathematics provides us inductive and deductive knowledge to enrich our imagination
and modes of thinking and even behaviour to excel in life. The material progress of
the present day world is the work of our mathematicians to improve the quality of life
by reducing time , distance and human effect . Prof.Joseph W . Dauhen ,observed that
“Nearly every part of our lives involves mathematics . It has played an essential role in
the development of modern technology – the tools , materials , techniques and sources

of power that makes our lives and work easier .” Mathematics has made a great
progress in the recent past and new topics and concepts have been injected in school
mathematics .New mathematical structures are introduced and new approach is
adopted to modernize mathematics teaching for greater utility to young stars . The
Education Commission (1964-66) recommended Mathematics as a compulsory subject
for students at school level .Secondary level is an important stage of school education
which serves as a bridge between primary level and higher education . In this stage
Mathematics is considered as a very crucial subject for students . Science and
technology are fully dependsupon Mathematics. Integration of ICT in teaching and
learning Mathematics is a great challenges for secondary students and teachersin this
stage . Technology plays an important role in school sector in the process of
empowering the technology into the educational activities.Technology can be
considered as most effective way to increase the knowledge of the students .

also for their students’ learning . Teachers need to meet the standardsof the curriculum
while enhancing students’ creativity, curiosity and motivation.The report of
Gutterman(2009) observes that information communication technology (ICT) can be
extremely powerful enabler in efforts to bring positive and sustainable development to
countries around the globe. Shavinina (2001) states that “Teaching with the chalk
board, textbooks, radio/television and film have been used for educational purpose
over the years, none has quite impact on the educational process like computer and
Internet, while television and film has impact on the audiovisual facilities of the users.”
He refers that technology has the capacity to provide higher interactive potential for
users to develop their individuals, intellectual and creative ability. According to
National curriculum for education ( 2009)” Information and communication
technology prepare pupils to participate in a rapidly changing world in which work and
other activities are increasingly transformed to varied and developing technology.”
Technology has been touted as potentially dominant tools for educational change and
reform .Digital education makes the students more effective and efficient than the
traditional education system.Digital technology has been changing the way of learning
concepts in school.The traditional chalk and talk method has covered way for more
interactive teaching methods and schools are increasingly adopting digital solution to
keep themselves side by side with technological changes .

Las matemáticas son una rama de la ciencia que se ocupa de los números, las formas, la
cantidad y la estructura. Las matemáticas modernas fomentan la comprensión de todas las
dimensiones posibles de la educación matemática a través de la aplicación. El papel de las
TIC en el aula de matemáticas se ha intensificado en las últimas dos décadas. Este estudio
investiga los diferentes roles de las TIC que desempeña en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de
las matemáticas en el aula de nivel secundario y las funciones de las herramientas en la
enseñanza y el aprendizaje de las diferentes ramas de las matemáticas junto con la
competencia de los profesores como factor y el uso eficaz de la tecnología en el aula de
matemáticas.
I. INTRODUCCIÓN
Las matemáticas siempre han ocupado un lugar importante en el currículo escolar. Las
matemáticas nos proporcionan conocimientos inductivos y deductivos para enriquecer
nuestra imaginación y modos de pensamiento e incluso el comportamiento para sobresalir
en la vida. El progreso material del mundo actual es el trabajo de nuestros matemáticos para
mejorar la calidad de vida mediante la reducción del tiempo, la distancia y el efecto humano.
Prof.Joseph W . Dauhen, observó que "Casi cada parte de nuestras vidas involucra
matemáticas. Ha jugado un papel esencial en el desarrollo de la tecnología moderna : las
herramientas, materiales, técnicas y fuentes de energía que hace que nuestras vidas y trabajo
sean más fáciles ". Las matemáticas han hecho un gran progreso en el pasado reciente y
nuevos temas y conceptos se han inyectado en las matemáticas escolares. Se introducen
nuevas estructuras matemáticas y se adopta un nuevo enfoque para modernizar la enseñanza
de las matemáticas para una mayor utilidad para las estrellas jóvenes. La Comisión de
Educación (1964-66) recomendó matemáticas como una asignatura obligatoria para los
estudiantes a nivel escolar. El nivel secundario es una etapa importante de la educación

escolar que sirve como puente entre el nivel primario y la educación superior. En esta etapa
las Matemáticas se consideran como una asignatura muy crucial para los estudiantes. La
ciencia y la tecnología dependen totalmente de las matemáticas. La integración de las TIC
en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de las matemáticas es un gran desafío para los estudiantes
de secundaria y profesores en esta etapa. La tecnología desempeña un papel importante en
el sector escolar en el proceso de potenciación de la tecnología en las actividades educativas.
La tecnología puede ser considerada como la forma más efectiva de aumentar el
conocimiento de los estudiantes.
