Abstract

The use of technology in the field of education across all branches of knowledge proves the necessity of technology integration in the teaching and learning process. This article discusses the definition and concept of Blended Learning in mathematics, the selection of Google Classroom as a platform for Blended Learning in mathematics and finally followed by the benefits of using Google Classroom in Blended Learning in mathematics for teachers and students. The writing is intended to provide a complete overview on the selection and use of Google Classroom in blended learning in mathematics and its benefits on teachers and students as well as to act as a guidance to the stakeholders and policy implementers for follow-up actions in implementing the initiative of using Google Classroom in the field of mathematics education in Malaysia.
