Abstract Students? attitudes towards mathematics tend to be on the negative range. Most of the students have developed a sense of low self-confident in studying mathematics. These negative beliefs are unfortunate as mathematics is a field of science with endless possibilities that can take an individual very far intellectually and professionally. It is our goal as teachers to lead students away from these negative attitudes that can be unfavorable to their learning and educational future. One way to do this is to introduce students to a variety of learning methods. Dynamic geometry software such as GeoGebra can help students improve their perceptions and learning of mathematics. This work discussed the Integration of GeoGebra software in teaching and learning of mathematics: a remedy to students? declining interest in mathematics.
