This article explores the latest situation of practicing ICT in mathematics classrooms along with the challenges being faced in the T/L process. A descriptive survey design under the quantitative method was adopted in this study. The population of the study was all mathematics teachers of Sindhuli district and the teachers who were connected through social media were considered as a sample. Google online survey form was used as the tool for data collection.Collected data were analyzed using a table, percentage, weighted mean, ANOVA, and t-test. The result of this study showed most teachers are using ICT to up-to-date knowledge, enhance teaching skills to obtain teaching resources and additional instructional materials.
