The purpose of this literature study is to summarize current research to get insight in the use of digital tools for educational purposes in school. As the digital world integrates more into school and society, this can be considered to be an interesting and current topic. The main question to investigate here is therefore whether working with digital tools can promote students' mathematics skills or not. In order to get a substantiated answer, the inquiry also lies on the basis of two sub-questions: "How can you use digital aids during mathematics lessons?" and "What are the advantages and disadvantages of digital tools?". To answer these questions, several databases have been searched with various keywords. In total, 10 different articles, that discuss different aspects of the subject, make out the basis of analysis. Results show that digital use can promote mathematics skills, depending on how and for what purpose it is used. There are also several approaches to the use, as well as several advantages and disadvantages with each of these.
