Digital skills are one of the important elements for teachers at school. The teachers who are used to have a very good digital skills will be able to provide opportunities and space for students to get involved during learning. Therefore, this study aims to identify the level of digital skills of mathematics’ teachers at national schools in the district of Sepang, Selangor through perceived ease of use and perceived of usefulness. This study used survey research design with a quantitative approach. A total of 133 mathematics’ teachers were selected through simple random sampling to answer the instrument. The data of this study has been collected and analyzed descriptively using the Statistical Package for The Social Science (SPSS) software version 27. The findings of the study show that the level of perceived ease of use of digital skills is at a high level (mean = 3.426, SP = 0.416), meanwhile the level of perceived of usefulness of digital skills is at a moderately high level (mean = 3.300, SP = 0.485). The implications of this study can be seen for students, mathematics teachers and Ministry of Education when the learning sessions in the classroom become more meaningful.
