Abstract	UAE has used technology effectively to enhance teaching and learning in different educational institutions. iPad is one of the latest technologies that have been introduced in UAE school and college classrooms. The research paper aims to investigate the effectiveness of use of iPad in mathematics classrooms. It not only focuses on verifying the usefulness of the use of iPad in classrooms, but also proposes strategies and techniques to gain maximum advantage from implementation of this technology in mathematics classrooms. Factors pertaining to benefits and limitations of iPad use in mathematics classroom were identified through literature review and desk studies. These inputs were used to construct a survey instrument, aimed to gather student perspectives regarding use of iPad. This investigation includes universities that have implemented the iPad as a tool to utilize more innovative teaching and learning techniques, such as HCT- Dubai Women's Campus and Zayed University. Further expert interviews were conducted at HCT-Dubai Women's Campus to interrogate faculty experts who have pioneered use of iPad in Math classroom. The research concludes by analyzing data collected from both methods and provides a list of recommendations.
