The continuous development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has become one of the main options for the improvement of general and specific activities of society. This research seeks to determine how ICT contribute to strengthening the development of mathematical skills in the training of future teachers of the Mathematics Pedagogy Career of the Central University of Ecuador. Mathematical competence is understood to be those skills and abilities that allow thinking, communicating and using mathematical symbolic language, solving problems and using tools and resources. In this sense, it was evaluated that mathematical competencies can strengthen the future teacher of this area of knowledge, its level of development and its application in teaching practice with the use of the various resources and tools offered by ICT. To this end, a quantitative study was carried out at the bibliographic, field, applied, descriptive and quasi-experimental level, which allowed to conclude the incidence of ICT in the development of basic mathematical skills of future teachers. Depending on the topic addressed within the article, it must indicate objective, methodology, results and conclusions.

Keywords : TIC; mathematical competencies; Virtual learning environments; Educational technology; Digital competencies.
