Abstract
This study was conducted to analyze the effects of mathematics classes using engineering tools on students' mathematics academic achievement and mathematics learning attitude, focusing on the basic figure and drawing sections of the first grade of middle school. Eighty students of first-grade at H Middle School in South Gyeongsang province were divided into two groups, taking a total of six weeks of classes using engineering tools(Algeomath) and traditional tools, and covariate analysis(ANCOVA) was used to analyze students' mathematics academic achievements and changes in mathematical learning attitude. The analysis found that classes using engineering tools were effective in students' mathematics academic achievements and attitude of learning math. Based on the results of the study, the necessity of utilizing various engineering tools in the future secondary school math class and the prospect and implications of the classes were discussed.
