Abstract

The present study, conducted at the Secondary Level of the Pedro Echeverria Teran School, located in the parish of Lumbisi, aimed to analyze the impact of using digital tools in mathematics teaching. Various digital platforms were employed as part of the learning process, with the support of mathematics teachers who received specific training for their implementation. The method involved designing tasks adapted to students' needs, focusing on strengthening key mathematical skills through interactive activities. The results showed a significant improvement in student performance, with an average increase of 2 points. This finding suggests that integrating digital tools into the teaching-learning process not only benefits students but also promotes effective pedagogical practices. The study highlights the importance of teacher training in the use of digital platforms and the implementation of adaptive pedagogical strategies, particularly in the field of mathematics.
