abstract={The objective of this study was to determine the effect on the levels of junior high school students¡¯ attitude towards mathematics and technology as well as their mathematics achievement after being exposed to geometry activities using the dynamic software, the Geometer¡¯s Sketchpad. Data collected were analyzed using mean, percentage, standard deviation and t-test for paired observations. Results revealed that junior high school students¡¯ attitude towards mathematics and technology gained a relative increase as influenced by the usage of the Geometer¡¯s Sketchpad. Furthermore, the Geometer¡¯s Sketchpad showed a positive impact on students¡¯ achievement in Geometry as indicated in the increase of their posttest scores. The researcher then recommends that mathematics teachers may consider utilizing technological tools like the Geometer¡¯s Sketchpad in discussing lessons in Geometry and other mathematics subjects to improve not only their students¡¯ mathematics achievement but also for students¡¯ attitude towards mathematics and technology.},
