The media trend and the massive use of technologies (computers, smartphones, tablets, PDAs, laptops, among others) with Internet connection are trends that generate changes for learning and accessing knowledge in a digital society. This study is a design of non-experimental descriptive research with a quantitative approach, with a student and teachers sample: 121 students and 29 teachers medium level mathematics from the educational institutions from Pichincha, Guayas and El Oro; which aims to provide empirical evidence about the level of impact of ICT integration, tools used for learning mathematics for middle school students. The results show that the role of technology and the Internet in the learning of mathematics can generate some motivation, they do not represent for the students and teachers a significant factor or high impact in the long-term learning of mathematics, not for its use or access to them, but for the lack of competence to apply them in their learning.
