Summary: 
Information Technology is increasingly receiving attention and being applied by teachers in education; however, its utilization still faces numerous challenges. This paper focuses on investigating the current situation and the factors influencing the application of Information Technology in teaching Mathematics in several high schools across certain northern provinces. Survey results indicate that the majority of teachers possess basic information technology skills; however, their ability to use specialized software for Mathematics remains limited. Presentation software is commonly used, while the utilization rate of software specifically designed for teaching Mathematics is lower. Factors such as gender and work experience influence the extent of information technology application. However, no significant differences were observed in the level of information technology use among teachers in urban, rural, and mountainous areas. Human and resource factors, including teachers’ attitudes, information technology skills, support, and access to technology, impact the extent of information technology application in Mathematics instruction. The research findings provide a scientific basis for proposing solutions to enhance information technology application in teaching, thereby contributing to the improvement of Mathematics teaching quality in the current context of educational reforms.
