Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the difference between the effect of using traditional teaching instruction and using iPad to teach math for first grade students. This study was conducted in one private elementary school in Jordan. The study used a quasi-experimental control design. Students have access to a few math software and websites that was downloaded to improve their math skills. Every student in the experimental group will have a personal iPad to be used during their math class period. Both groups will be given a pre-test and a post-test to measure their achievements in math. The motive for this research was encouraging teachers and students to use iPad for educational purpose instead of use it most of the time for fun and games. it a helpful tool to be used as part of the mathematic learning process. Also, there are many software and internet sites that can be downloading in the iPadt to improve students’ math skills. Index Terms — math, tablet, e-textbook, e-learning, education, educational technology.

Decision makers in education see technology as a perfect solution to improve students learning performance and increase their motivation for learning [1]
The main goal of this study was to examine the difference between the effect of using traditional teaching instruction and using iPad to teach math for first grade students
The researcher examines the equivalents of the two groups (R-group and experimental group (E-group)) by applying a math pretest
Summary
Decision makers in education see technology as a perfect solution to improve students learning performance and increase their motivation for learning [1]. IPad applications are the most advanced technology that carries out the education requirements by focusing on students’ needs and higher education expectations [4]. This devise have all the PC’s computers applications but it have a special tools that PC devices does not have which it is the special pen to write on screen to support class activities [5]. The iPads is a touch screen device, which designed in a suitable format that made it to be used by young students It motivates students during their learning process by encouraging them to download interactive applications. The main challenge teacher’s face during the process of using the iPad in school is getting students and parents to view this tool as a learning device not as a game device [8]
