Abstract	As it has changed all fields in our lives, technological advancements have also improved education in such a large extent that integrating technology into education is inevitable. For this reason, teachers and teacher candidates are supposed to get acquainted with technology related information and skills. This study was conducted to determine the pre-service mathematics teachers' opinions about information and communication technologies. A questionnaire was applied to 104 mathematics teacher candidates from a university in the Black Sea Region as the data collecting tool. The data was analyzed with statistical software (SPSS 13.0) in terms of average mean, standard deviation and t-tests. Current findings show that mathematics teacher candidates have positive attitude towards applying ICT in classroom settings. Results show no significant difference between the attitudes and owning a computer, using the internet and the department being studied; however there is a significant correlation between attitudes and gender; favoring males.
