Abstract Indian schooling system provides opportunities of ICT (Information and Communications Technology) only for secondary level not for primary level. Also, West Bengal Board of Primary Education does not provide any opportunities of ICT for primary level. But it need for primary teacher to use ICT for teaching and official purpose. Children start learning with basic literacy and basic mathematics at the primary level. In the present time technology is essential to build up students’ basic and advanced concepts of mathematics. There are so many tools and software for basic and advance mathematics practices. It also helps in evaluation process. So, ICT is useful for mathematics teaching learning process at the beginning of schooling. The main problem is that in West Bengal ICT integration is not a priority at primary level so it brings down the interest of teacher to use ICT. It is need to be compulsory use of ICT in primary school and teachers should be trained to use ICT for teaching and instructing students for making students with ICT minded.
