Abstract
This systematic literature review examines the role of technology in enhancing basic math skills within the realm of mathematics education. Synthesizing findings from diverse studies, the review identifies key themes that elucidate the impact of technology on learning outcomes. Interactive software, including virtual manipulatives and simulations, is recognized for its positive influence on fostering active learning and deepening conceptual understanding. The integration of online platforms, particularly through adaptive learning systems, emerges as a crucial strategy for personalized learning, contributing to improved student outcomes. Educational apps and gamification elements are explored as dynamic tools, providing flexibility and motivation in mathematics learning. While acknowledging the positive impact of technology, the review also underscores challenges such as access limitations, teacher training needs, and concerns about screen time. The findings highlight the importance of a balanced and thoughtful approach to technology integration, aligning interventions with educational objectives. In conclusion, this study contributes valuable insights to the ongoing discourse on technology in education, emphasizing its potential to revolutionize mathematics learning while addressing the nuanced challenges associated with its implementation. The synthesis of these findings provides a foundation for informed decision-making in educational practices and sets the stage for future research in the evolving landscape of educational technology.
