Continued fractions arise naturally in long division and the theory of the approximation to real numbers by rational numbers. This research considered the implementation on the convergent of $\theta$-expansions of real numbers of $x\in(0,\theta)$ with $0<\theta<1$. The convergent of $\theta$-expansions are also called as $\theta$-convergent of continued fraction expansions. This study aimed to establish the properties for a family of $\theta$-convergent in $\theta$-expansions. The idea of discovering the behaviours of $\theta$-convergent evolved from the concept of regular continued fraction (RCF) expansion and sequences involved in $\theta$-expansions. The $\theta$-expansions algorithm was used to compute the values of $\theta$-convergent with the help of Maple software. Consequently, it proved to be an efficient method for fast computer implementation. The growth rate of $\theta$-convergent was investigated to highlight the performance of $\theta$-convergent. The analysis on $\theta$-convergent revealed the convergent that gives a better approximation yielding to fewer convergence errors. This whole paper thoroughly derived the behaviours of $\theta$-convergent, which measure how well a number $x$ is approximated by its convergents for almost all irrational numbers.
