This study employed a mixed method to gather the required data to examine the impact of an Inductive Teaching Strategy with GeoGebra on the grade five Bhutanese students’ learning achievement and engagement in mathematics. The sample of the study consisted of 30 grade five students from one of the semi-urban school of Bhutan. The study employed achievement tests (pre-test and post-test) and semi-structured interview as instruments for collecting data and classroom observation as additional evidence to strengthen the results from the achievement test and semi-structured interview. The instruments were validated by three experts and tested for reliability using Kuder Richardson-20 (KR-20) formula having a value of 0.78. The quantitative data were analyzed using a paired sample t-test using statistical software. The result revealed a higher mean score in the post-test (12.78) than that of the pre-test (7.03) with the mean difference of (5.75). The significant (p) value 0.01 indicated that the use of Inductive Teaching Strategy with GeoGebra was effective in teaching and learning mathematics. Qualitative data were analyzed using the thematic analysis technique. The result revealed that integrating the Inductive Teaching Strategy with GeoGebra remarkably enhanced students’ engagement in mathematics. The findings showed that the use of Inductive Teaching Strategy with GeoGebra has a potential to foster improved understanding and enhance students’ engagement in teaching mathematics in grade five Bhutanese students.
