This research shows us the influence that ICTs have on schoolchildren, on today's adolescents, in times of change and in which adolescents increasingly need knowledge, skills and competences in a space that allows them to situate themselves autonomously, reflection and critical attitude and before this knowing the influence of ICT in the teaching of mathematics is due to reasons not only social but also pedagogical. We demonstrate that the Information and Communication Technologies and the Internet influence the Academic Performance in Mathematics of the students of the fifth year of secondary school in the Puente Piedra-Lima district 2017, based on demonstrating the enormous importance that ICTs have in the educational field.

The challenge of this generation called digital natives do not know how to take advantage of the technology they have at their disposal, which are used for chatting, online games or other useless purpose. Therefore, establish the relationship of ICTs and academic performance, and how the internet allows easy, varied and updated information is necessary. The instruments used were: the questionnaire validated through an expert judgment, and the Academic Record of the students. The results measured through the Xi square and the ability to acquire information, the ability to work as a team and the strategic learning capacity allow us to affirm that there is a significant relationship between information and communication technologies (ICT) and performance.
