Abstract: In this paper we propose a pedagogical model for teaching mathematics in the technology-based classroom. This model is structured around three key pedagogical areas that involve mathematics discourse. A summary table is provided which includes detailed pedagogical opportunities to enact in the classroom, the table also draws attention to the way the teacher’s technology-based pedagogy can transform the task, environment, and student affect. This model is useful as a conceptual framework to draw a clear and practice-based picture of the classroom discourse community actively using technology in their learning of mathematics.
