Abstract:Nowadays, the globalized world encourages people to be able to use ICT`s in every aspect of their life. Several mobile apps have been created to support the learning process. Particularly, the teaching of Mathematics has benefited from the use of innovative mobile apps. This study evaluates the most common mathematical educational apps through a survey answered by teachers and students from the module of Fundamentals of Mathematics at National Polytechnic School (EPN). The study reveals that WolframAlpha is the most appropriate app to support the learning process. The 81% of students consider that the use of this app could improve their academic outcomes and the 100% of teachers agree to include them in the teaching-learning process | ||
