Abstract
According to 'Standards of Excellence in Teaching Mathematics in Australian Schools', excellent teachers of mathematics need to create "an environment that maximises students' learning opportunities"; so that they can encourage self-directed learning, "model mathematical thinking and reasoning", and provide "purposeful and timely feedback" (Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers (AAMT), 2008, Sec 3). In the last ten years new technologies have provided teachers of both school and university mathematics with more opportunities to approach such excellence. The Tablet PC and associated technologies together provide one such opportunity.
