Abstract	The use of digital technologies has been proposed as one of the five basic principles of curriculum design in the curriculum document for the secondary mathematics curriculum (CDI, 1998). Since then, the Hong Kong curriculum has undergone continual reforms of different scales and the use of digital technologies in mathematics teaching has been promoted. Textbook is the medium for informing what should be taught in the curriculum and often recognized as the potentially implemented curriculum. To what extent has the technology been used and reflected in the junior mathematic textbooks under the promotion of top-down curriculum reforms? A popular textbook series was analyzed. The use of technology was categorized into the use of calculators; the use of internet and the use of software, internet and CD-ROM; and other supplementary materials provided by the publishers. The use of technology varies according to the topics in the different strands, namely, algebra, geometry and data handling. Finally, Hong Kong as an example in an Asian context to the use of IT in mathematics teaching is argued to be at a very preliminary stage and a wish list is proposed.
