Results of hypothesis testing by using T test has indicated that there is significant difference (t=-2.424, df=543, p<0.05) in students' attitudes to learning Mathematics with technology between rural schools and non rural schools. Students from non rural schools possessed higher confidence with technology compared to students from rural schools.
