The objective of this study was to analyze the integration and the level of influence of the use of social networks in the learning process of mathematics in rural secondary education in the province of Huánuco, Peru. The research approach was quantitative; non-experimental design of cross-section and at a correlational level; the study sample consisted of 78 secondary school students, the data collection instruments were a questionnaire and an analytical rubric. The results highlight that 79.2% of students use cell phones, as well as social networks in a massive way; there is a positive correlation of the use of social networks with the learning of concepts, procedures and the development of favorable attitudes towards learning.
