The subject of mathematics is being taught since ancient history. Mathematics teachers had tried to make it easier and understandable to the learners. At times mathematics learning was considered as practicing a series of techniques to master them and use the same over and over again in a series of problems. The main focus of teachers remained on rote memorizing the facts and applying them to solve the problems quickly. The development of modern technology has profoundly affected the ways organizations and individuals around the world achieve their objectives and teachers and researchers in mathematics see mathematics learning and teaching as a significant part of social construction of knowledge. These technological advances have substantially broadened the applications of mathematics, not only in scholarship, science, industry, business, and government, but also more prominently than before in such areas as agriculture, health, politics, and the arts. Therefore, teachers and researchers throughout the world are trying to find the new ways and techniques of teaching mathematics and researchers of mathematics education are more concerned with use of technology.
