Technology can enhance students' learning of mathematics in several ways:
1) It makes learning more enjoyable and gives students freedom over their learning process.
2) Technology helps students construct knowledge and encourages self-learning as well as collaborative learning.
3) Tools like calculators and graphics software allow students to visualize mathematical concepts and develop a deeper understanding through exploration of multiple representations.
17. Use of calculators/Graphic Calculators
• Saves time.
• More realistic.
• Exploration
• sense-making with multiple representations.
• Development of flexible strategies.
• Mathematical meaning and concepts.
(Burrill et al., 2002; Ellington, 2003):

20. Using Graphics software
It is easier to see how the variable m in f(x) = m x
represents a rate of change when the function is graphed
and students can explore the connection between m and
the gradient (slope) of the line.
(Roschelle et al., 2007).
21. When teachers use technology to introduce the
concept of the equation of a straight line (y = k x +
m), the teaching will be different compared to an
ordinary introduction.

23. The students will be able to easily investigate how different values for the
parameters will affect the graph of the function.
24. When students develop presentation it develops their
creativity and communication skills
25. Learning materials that are enhanced with various media such as
sound, narration, video, animation, graphics etc. provide learners
choices to enhance their different intelligence or learning styles .
If designed and implemented properly, ICT-supported education
can promote the acquisition of the knowledge and 21st century
skills
Creativity, critical thinking ,Communication & problem solving.
