This study contributes to the growing body of literature on innovative technological tools with strong potential to enhance the teaching and learning of mathematics and related subjects. The primary objective is to assess how technology can transform math education. The study employs a rigorous systematic methodological approach, encompassing three key steps: planning, screening, and conducting a content analysis. From the 423 papers retrieved from selected databases, a stringent screening based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, as well as a qualitative assessment, was conducted. Consequently, 117 papers were selected for an automated content analysis using the Leximancer software tool. The study’s main findings indicate that technology acts as a significant enabler, preparing students for a world of hyper-complexity and providing opportunities for all students to access mathematical thinking, thus potentially improving their future prospects in a technology-driven society. Innovative technologies are shown to significantly empower and support both teachers and students in meaningful mathematics teaching and learning. However, the study also highlights the limitations of these technologies. Effective integration with work techniques, curriculum, learning, and mathematical assessment is necessary, while the role of the teacher remains critical in math instruction.
