The study has been carried out to find the "students' perceptions on the use of
ICT in teaching mathematics". The main objective of this study was to explore the

generate a research question to identify the perception of students towards the use of
ICT in mathematics. This is a qualitative study. So, the study conducted qualitative
design as well as an interpretive research paradigm. Three schools were chosen
purposively for the research of Basic Level including two private and one government
