One of the learning activities that is said to be difficult to implement is the method of learning mathematics. The process of learning mathematics is difficult because mathematics materials are abstract and difficult for elementary students. To overcome this problem, the use of technology in education is a good solution. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of technology in learning mathematics and its role in improving the mathematical understanding of coastal students. This study is a preliminary experimental study focusing on 28 elementary school students of 111 Buton Elementary School. The researchers used tests and questionnaires as data collection tools. In this study, researchers found that there was a difference in students' mathematical understanding before and after using technology in the learning process. After using technology in learning activities, it is 26.41%. According to survey results, 64% of students said that using technology helped them understand math material. 29% found it very useful, the rest found it very useful. Based on the results, it was concluded that the use of technology in learning activities will improve students' understanding of mathematics. Technology also plays an important role in the learning process of mathematics. © 2024 American Institute of Physics Inc.. All rights reserved.
