Abstract
The mathematical discussion is an indispensable formative moment of class practices to put in place essential skills related to the meaning of mathematical education: asking the why of things, facing problems, making decisions and knowing how to argue them. In the digital age, introducing a mathematical discussion in the classroom brings new challenges: choosing "good" mathematical problems, integrating digital tools, promoting student participation and inclusion. In this seminar, I would like to share the results of some studies and projects in which I have collaborated and which have at their center a class mathematical discussion in upper secondary school. After an overview of the many didactic configurations that mathematical discussion can assume, I will focus on the teacher's didactic performance to deepen his or her role in promoting meaningful mathematical discussion.
