The study found that the 21st century teaching and learning practice in general to be high. It has also been found that mathematics teacher applied problem-solving skills in teaching and learning but on the other side, they have deficiency in the usage of technological skills. Hence, technological skills of mathematics teachers need to be improved by providing them with courses for the teachers to attend or special programs related to technology usage in teaching and learning for them to follow. Hopefully with this study’s findings, they can help the Ministry of Education to plan a strategize programs or courses that can increase the level of teaching and learning practice 21st century of teachers to improve the quality of Malaysia education especially in Mathematics subject.
