Mathematics is well known as the father of all sciences. Each student in their day-to-day life must achieve certain vital goals and objectives. Mathematics is the backbone for prosperity in every field of life. The current state of learning of Mathematics requires urgent attention to determine effective strategies for enhancing students' achievement and saving the nation from plunging into mathematical anarchy which will dim the nation's quest for scientific and technological development. Information Communication Technology (ICT) provides teachers with foundational tools and means to help teachers change teaching methods, support students in independent learning, and actively participate in the discovery of concepts in Mathematics and students gain deeper understanding of Mathematical ideas. Among many approaches for effective teaching learning process, Multiple Intelligence Theory-based teaching is one, which asserts that learning environments should be designed considering individual differences. Therefore, the study determined whether the achievement of students taught through ICT Mediated Multiple Intelligence based teaching will differ from those taught through conventional teaching in the classroom. The study was a quasi-experimental pre-test post-test control group design. The population of the study consist of all secondary CBSE school students from Mysore city of Karnataka state. One CBSE school was purposively selected with 75 sample students of two different sections of the same class were randomly selected as experimental group (37) and control group (38), sample had 31 Girls and 44 Boys. The experiment group was taught Mathematics using ICT Mediated MI Based teaching while the control group with conventional teaching. The instrument for data collection was a researcher made Mathematics Achievement Test with a reliability coefficient of 0.71. The data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation and ANCOVA. The result of the study revealed that ICT Mediated MI Based teaching was effective in enhancing secondary school students' achievement in Mathematics and minimising gender gaps. Recommendations for Mathematics teachers are to apply ICT Mediated MI Based teaching to enhance students' achievement in Mathematics at the secondary school level.
