This research aims to model the factors affecting the use of the Madrasati platform among secondary school mathematics teachers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, considering the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The research used the quantitative method and cross-sectional design to collect data through a questionnaire distributed to a simple random sample of 367 participants. SPSS was used for the descriptive analysis. Meanwhile, Smart PLS was used to conduct the measurement and structural models. The measurement model evaluates the validity and stability of the data. The structural model was used to study the relationships between the study's variables. The results revealed that there is a direct effect of the intention of use on the actual use of the Madrasati platform among teachers. Additionally, there is a direct effect of teachers' attitudes and perceived benefits on teachers' intention to use the Madrasati platform. There is also a direct effect of external factors (perceived knowledge and perceived grit) on both perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Finally, the study provided recommendations for future studies. Keywords: Madrasati platform, teachers' usage, teachers' perceptions, structural equations modeling
