Abstract: This study investigated the integration of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning of primary Mathematics. In particular, the objectives of the study were to identify ICT teaching and learning materials available for teaching and learning Mathematics in Pemba, how these ICTs were being utilized in Mathematics instruction and what challenges teachers faced in integrating ICT in the teaching of Mathematics to improve the delivery of lessons. The research utilized a case study design. Purposive sampling was used to select participants, including headteachers, deputy headteachers, senior teachers, and 24 teachers. Interview guides, one-on-one questionnaires and lesson observations were used to collect data. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Transcripts were coded to identify recurring themes and patterns, elucidating the experiences and challenges faced by participants. The study findings showed that apart from IRI radios and Let’s Read tablets, there was low availability of ICT and its integration in teaching and learning Mathematics. Among others, the study recommended that the Ministry of Education should train primary school teachers in integrating ICT and provide suitable teaching and learning materials such as interactive boards, maths-related games and software applications with Mathematics content and ensure effective support and maintenance of the ICT infrastructure.
