Abstract
The development of technology and spread of smart phones everywhere, led to the development of teaching methods. Also, due to COVID-19 pandemic, educational institutes have been closed, therefore the use of media social has become a necessary part of learning process. The current study aims to identify the impact of using Telegram Poll on the Mathematics achievement of the 5th grade primary school pupils and their trend toward it. This paper had adopted a quasi-experimental research. It was conducted at Balqees primary school in Al-Amara, Iraq. In order to achieve these aims, a test and a questionnaire have been constructed. The questionnaire consists of (8) items. While, the test consists of (7) questions. The validity of the test and the questionnaire have been found. The sample was a randomly chosen, one class as an experimental group and another as a control group. The findings of the current study reveal that the experimental group outperformed the control group in Mathematics achievement test. Also, the pupils' trends of the experimental group were positive toward learning Mathematics.
