Abstract: 

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of using smart phones to acquire some algebraic equations solving skills and attitudes towards mathematics for teacher-students with literary majors at Al-Aqsa University. The study used the quasi-experimental method to achieve this goal. The study sample consisted of an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group was taught with the smart phones and they were (32 students), while the control group was taught through the traditional way and they were (32 students), An achievement test and an attitude scale were applied on both groups. The study results showed that the literary teacher-student in Al Aqsa University have 21 skills for solving algebraic equations. Additionally, the study results found that there were weaknesses among the students in solving algebraic equations. Also, they showed that there were significant statistical differences between the experimental and control groups in the post achievement test in favor of the experimental group, as well as there were significant differences between the experimental and control group in the post attitude scale in favor of the experimental group.
