The implementation of Home-Based Teaching and Learning (PdPR) is a new norm in the national education system. This qualitative study with a case study design aims to explore the practice of technology integration among mathematics teachers during the implementation of PdPR. A total of three secondary school mathematics teachers were selected as study participants using the purposive sampling technique. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect study data. Interview data were analyzed using the content analysis method with the help of ATLAS.ti 22. The results of the interviews showed that teachers have integrated technology in the teaching and learning of mathematics through various approaches, strategies, and digital applications during PdPR. Mathematics teachers also found that PdPR has given them a valuable new experience in the aspect of teaching despite facing various challenges in implementing it. Through this study, the integration of technology proved to be very helpful to mathematics teachers in implementing teaching and learning at home more effectively. Therefore, mathematics teachers are encouraged to attend professional development courses and workshops related to the use of technology to ensure the effectiveness of PdPR.
