Learning mathematics requires regular learning and revising. It sometimes happens that I forget mathematical rule or explanation. If the “forgotten” content can be found in this year’s pupil’s book, then I can easily refresh it. More serious problem occurs if an explanation you need is not in the pupil’s book. Then you can help yourself with e-textbooks that are useful in other situations as well. I decided to compare the use of a paper book with an e-textbook in three different situations: 1) I want to catch up with knowledge I missed due to my absence from school, 2) I want to revise and consolidate the content which we learned in school, 3) I would like to learn before the teacher explains the matter in school. In this article I will discuss the way I compared e-textbook with a paper book for 5^th grade of primary school. I found out that you can learn from both maths books, but the use of e-textbook has some advantages. I prefer using a computer for learning, as soon as you finish the exercise you can check it, the tasks are interesting. The only disadvantage is that we do not use a computer to learn mathematics in school.
