Abstract

The study explored students' perceptions of using interactive E-books in math learning. The study sample included 50 male and female students who were randomly selected. The researcher prepared a questionnaire for the students according to the study questions, objectives, and problems. The questionnaire focused on the students' perceptions of four areas: motivation, attractiveness, relevance, and effectiveness. The data collected from the students were collected and analysed using the statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) data processing program. The data were analysed descriptively by calculating the frequencies of each variable. The results of the study indicate that 77% of students were attracted to E-book in learning math, 70% of students were effective in using E-book in learning math, 81% of students were relevant to using E-book in learning math, the student's perceptions about the use of E-books in mathematics in its four aspects: effectiveness, attractiveness, motivation, and importance were positive, which led to improving and developing students' learning.
