ABSTRACT Innovation is not limited to new technologies, products and services it is also a social art which happens as a result of interactions especially between teachers and students in a classroom setting. Their insights, concerns, and desires shape the pursuit of new ideas and the decisions that need to be made during the process of transforming these ideas into values. Mathematics being an integral part of the school programme needs innovative inputs in order to catch up with the expected speed in today?s technological development and sustainability. The recent educational activities have increased exponentially as a result of technology. It is however a challenge to keep a step ahead of changes and development in the new technologies for both human and economic resources. This paper discussesinnovative processes in the teaching and learning of mathematics with the aim of addressing mathematics educators in updating their knowledge in educational innovations and the attainment of sustainable development. Key words:Innovative Processes, Mathematics Education, Sustainable Development
