Abstract

The world is growing technologically in various circles of life; education is not left out. Countries are attempting to get together with this turn of events. In the education sector, many information communication technology devices have been invented to supplement the normal customary technique for education. Numerous soft wares can be applied in educating/learning. These ICT tools are utilized in the instructing and studying of mathematics that make it clearer and more practical for students to comprehend the concepts of mathematics. Regardless the benefits of technology to the teaching of mathematics, a few nations are yet to incorporate it in their schools most particularly the developing nations. Many developed nations have incorporated the ICT into their schooling however the vast majority of the developing nations are as yet lingering behind; it might be because of their administration's disregard for the significance of the ICT use. The study reviews some related literature on ICT use. The study looks at the meaning of ICT, ICT use and mathematics learning, ICT use and developing countries’ institutions, and the benefit of ICT usage and students’ performance in mathematics.
