In spite of increased access to digital tools, there is still a need to critically explore how well ICT is utilized to support Grade 7 learners’ learning. This research sought to establish the extent of harnessing of ICT as an instructional approach and its relationship with the level of Grade 7 students’ engagement and Mathematics learning at Buenavista I District public secondary school in Bohol Division for school year 2024 to 2025. The researchers employed a descriptive-correlational quantitative research methodology and utilized a adopted questionnaire to gather data on the third-quarter mathematics grades of Grade 7 students. Sixty participants were randomly chosen through stratified random sampling. Data analysis involved using methods such as percentage, weighted mean, standard deviation, and the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. Results indicated that ICT was regularly used for teaching, and this resulted in high levels of both cognitive and behavioral engagement from the students. While ICT enhances students’ engagement in and enriches learning experiences, its impact on Mathematics performance remains limited if used solely. The findings reveal that technology does not automatically lead to any improvement in learning unless combined with instructional approaches that can relate the use of ICT to lesson goals. Students were found to engage and perform acceptably, but meaningful improvement requires effective pedagogy coupled with purposeful ICT integration. It is recommended that teachers design lessons that merge ICT tools with clear objectives to ensure technology supports students’ mathematical learning.</jats:p>}, number={6}, journal={International Journal of Teaching, Learning and Education}, publisher={AI Publications}, author={Hagutin, John Mhel S. and Villarta, Angelie J. and Reville, Ervie Jane L. and Peña, Mercedita D.
