Advancement of ICT in mathematics: impact on Society and Initial Education

Abstract

This research addresses the impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on the learning and development of mathematical skills in children. The objective was to analyze the relationship between mathematics, information and communication technologies (ICT) and their impact on society. The study was based on a quantitative approach, documentary analysis and the application of a survey. We examine how the use of digital tools and online resources is transforming the way children interact with Mathematics, and how these experiences influence their understanding and appreciation of the discipline, to this end we explore widespread access to technological devices and platforms online by children, and how these technologies can be used to enrich their mathematical learning. Educational applications, interactive games, and online resources designed to improve understanding of mathematical concepts are discussed. It discusses how these digital tools can offer more personalized and adaptive learning experiences, allowing children to progress at their own pace and address areas of difficulty on an individualized basis. The ability of ICT to provide feedback and motivate children through rewards and gamification is highlighted, and the role of ICT in collaboration and peer learning is also examined. Online platforms that allow children to work together on mathematical projects, solve problems and share ideas are discussed, which encourages critical thinking and effective communication and reflects on the challenges and opportunities facing the advancement of Mathematics in the context of ICT and society.
