Thirty online resources were chosen as a sample, evaluating criteria were developed and assessed through the defined ranking. The result revealed that about 36.67% resources were below the average level and rejected for use in school level mathematics of Nepal based on curriculum, digital technological status, and pedagogical perspective.
