The Effect of Using Smart Board on Mathematics Achievement and Retention of Seventh Grade Students

The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of using smart board on mathematics achievement and retention of seventh grade students. To achieve this purpose a study sample of (103) students was selected from the seventh grade. This sample was divided into two groups. One group was randomly chosen to be the experimental group that studied mathematics using smart board; the other was the control group that studied mathematics using traditional method and board. The instrument of the study was an achievement test which was used to measure mathematics achievement and retention of the students. Data analysis procedures using T-test for independent samples revealed a positive effect of using smart board on students` achievement and retention in mathematics.
