Abstract
This chapter presents a synthesis of a set of studies focusing on teachers’ technology-based activity at the classroom level. Each of the studies is contextualised, singular and deals with individual teachers. Cross-analysing the findings of these separate situations aims to identify common characteristics in terms of common responses to shared constraints (in the French context) related to the use of technology by ordinary mathematics teachers. The synthesis is developed with the aim of analysing regularities in the practices of ordinary teachers integrating technologies into their teaching. These regularities are structured along three issues: How to simultaneously teach mathematics and use technology in class? (cognitive axis); How to teach mathematics in new teaching environments? (pragmatic axis); How to manage the time of teaching and learning when using technology? (temporal axis).

Notes
- 1.
‘Ordinary teachers’ means in this chapter, teachers who are not technology-experts and who are not involved in experimental projects.
- 2.
See for example: http://mathenpoche.sesamath.net/.
- 3.
At least in the French context.
