With the development of mathematics, computational tools constantly updating and developing. Computational tools has experienced the process of the development from "the knot count" to the first electronic computer was born. In the process of computational tools from simple, manual, lower gradually developed into the complex, automatic, senior, and continues to develop more advanced. Therefore, some enlightenment can be obtained for the development process of mathematics and mathematics education by researching on the development process of computational tools.The paper summarizes some of the important rules of computational tools in the production and development process: from the appearance of chip count to abacus, from ancient Greece counting plate to the extend, from the origin of the slide rule, peak to decline, from the mechanical computer, electromechanical computer to modern computer, come to the natural environment and social conditions affect the conclusions of the computational tools. Such as the impact of geography, climate and other natural conditions of the computational tools material, function, language influence on the computing speed of computational tools, commerce and trade production, science and technology to promote the spread and evolution of computational tools etc. The paper also discusses the interaction of computational tools and mathematical development, including the mutual promotion and impact of computational tools and positional notation, computational tools to promote the spread of positional notation, the interaction of computer and mathematical development and so on. Finally, obtaining conclusions as the cultural and educational role of the museum of computational tools, abacus to promote brain growth, the role of computer in multimedia education and so on through researching the computational tools and mathematical education.On the basis of the development of computational tools focus on the impact of the natural environment and social conditions for the development of computational tools and mathematical and computational tools developed in the process of interaction,and summarizes the positive role of computational tools for mathematics education. The results of the thesis has a certain reference to the history of mathematics research and education, the development and prediction of computational tools in the future, the research and reform of mathematics education.
