Trigonometry is a challenging area of mathematics for many students, especially pre-service primary teachers in TTCs. The Symbolab calculator, software developed to assist mathematicians solving complex problems, used improve students' performance and understanding. This study investigated the effectiveness using calculator on second-year student-teachers, comparing their with those without calculator. data was analysed t-test. findings showed that integration significantly improved understanding, reducing time taken solve trigonometric equations. It recommended further research be conducted combining different instructional methods trigonometry instruction. There need encourage adopt various pedagogical strategies learning outcomes.
