The aim of this study is to verify the importance of using the interactive whiteboard (IWB) in the teaching process especially in Mathematics at the preschool level. Although the IWB software offers a huge number of tools and features, teachers are not benefiting from them efficiently. Instead, they are using the IWB as a projector most of the time. At AZM school, A study took place on 40 KG2 students aged between four and five; They were divided into two groups of 20, where only one of the two groups was exposed to activities on the IWB about number seven called the study group and the other the control group. The activities varied between recognizing, counting, sorting and tracing the number 7. All 40 students were assessed in the same manner. Results showed that the group of students that did the designed activities and used the IWB achieved higher scores on their assessments than those who did not participate in the activities. Results also showed that students got motivated, engaged and more encouraged when using the IWB.
