Abstract
This paper aims at presenting a specific strategy of using the interactive whiteboard in the learning development process of mathematics. Based on the characteristics of problem solving, Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development and Bruner’s scaffolding, the invasion of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Engestrom’s activity theory, an example was carefully chosen and presented. This example is one of many that ICT, serving as a scaffolding tool, help the learner to successfully cross her/his zone of proximal development through an activity designed as a class work for Grade 8 learners. Teachers and facilitators are requested to follow such examples and develop some more to implement them as guiding experiences in their teaching process.
