Abstract :This paper makes an attempt to investigate the nature of mathematics knowledge and ICT-information and communication technology-potential. It proposes that mathematics knowledge be categorized into two parts, Meta knowledge and executive knowledge. Each type of the knowledge requires entirely different planning from the instructors, if they wanted to use ICT in mathematics education. To this end, it is proposed that the class instructor be substituted with a class director, who has been trained by mathematics education system for this purpose. The class director duties will be briefly discussed. When the class director executes the model, the mooted method, s/he is going to produce a valuable lecture which is called evolved-lecture.
