This action research was conducted to help five Form Two Students improve their math achievement especially in Factoring and Algebraic Development. The study sample consisted of five students who got low results in the pre-test. The selection of research respondents was carried out by purposive sampling involving five students in a secondary school. This action research also gives researchers the opportunity to improve teaching and learning practices using the Photomath application. Data for this study was collected through observation, pre-test, post-test and questionnaire. The collected data was then analyzed in terms of frequency and percentage. The results of the Post Test for the five respondents, show an increase in math achievement and more interest in math subjects when they can refer to this Photomath application based on the calculations they have done. The use of this application can be widely used as a tool to help students when they are at home and do not have a reference to refer to. The implications of this study show an increase in the respondents’ achievement and interest in algebra.
