Abstract

This study evaluated the effectiveness of Information Technology (IT) applications in teaching Grade 1 mathematics to develop students' comprehensive competencies. Tools such as Canva, Twinkl, and online educational games were integrated into lessons to create an engaging learning environment and to enhance students' skills. Significant improvements were observed: students’ ability to sequence numbers increased from 33% to 83.3%, number comparison skills improved from 31% to 90.5%, and effective teamwork skills rose from 40% to 95.2%. Additionally, self-directed learning levels increased from 24% to 85.7%, and creativity in problem-solving grew from 33% to 80.9%. These results underscore the positive impact of IT in developing primary students' academic and collaborative skills.
