Mathematics as a subject has remained difficult and unpopular for most students. This is despite its importance in almost all careers, especially in the science and technological fields. This is partially due to the teaching methods employed by educators which place students in the spectator role. With the availability of the ever advancing and improving Information Communication Technologies, the nature of learning and teaching in mathematics is expected to change which places students in the active role. Facilities provided by ICTs can be taken advantage of to enhance the positive attitude towards the learning of mathematics by pupils or students. This paper discusses the research that has been done in this area and outlines the general benefits of integrating the use of ICT in mathematics. The paper also proposes the use of Matlab in teaching of sketching of mathematical graphs to students.
