This paper reports a sociocultural analysis of ICT and numeracy practices in a school
serving a disadvantaged community. It focuses on a classroom episode involving a rich task
that included ICTs and numeracy. The teacher engaged the students in higher-order
thinking and established interactive norms of collaboration and shared expertise. The
unique features of this site are described, in terms of its context, the activity, the tools and
the interactive patterns between participants, in order to understand how such a system
might function in other similar contexts.This paper reports a sociocultural analysis of ICT and numeracy practices in a school
