In Dong-Hai Elementary School, totally 66 students from two randomly selected fifth grade classes participated: the experimental group received interactive whiteboard math teaching and the control group received traditional math teaching for a period of three weeks of 12 lessons on the unit “Volume, Volum and Capacity.” Before the experimental teaching, these two groups took a pre-test. A week after the experimental lessons ended, all students took a post-test and a “Learning Attitude Questionnaire Survey.” Based on the experimental group’s responses to the “Interactive Whiteboard in Math Teaching Questionnaire Survey,” we can determine their learning attitude and opinions to interactive whiteboard learning. The results in this study concluded (1) The interactive whiteboard suits math learning in elementary schools; (2) Teaching math using the interactive whiteboard can promote learning effectiveness; (3) Teaching math using the interactive whiteboard can improve learning attitude; (4) Learners react positively to interactive whiteboard teaching.
