Abstract

We present three examples of online problem-solving forums that accompany the learning of mathematics in Israeli high schools. The first example introduces a Facebook forum intended to prepare students from different schools for the secondary school graduation exam inmathematics. The second example concerns aWhatsApp asynchronous forum opened by a novice mathematics teacher for her 10th grade. The forum has gradually developed into a multifunctional space for students seeking assistance and sharing solutions to homework problems. The third example is a synchronous Google+ forum in an 11th grade initiated by an experienced mathematics teacher. This forum functioned as a platform for collaborative problem solving after school hours. Trends in development of selforganized online activity are discussed by the end of the chapter.
