Researchers have been paying attention to the convergence of technologies for it can result in improving human behaviour, including student’s learning and teacher’s instruction. The present paper intends to describe the different types of convergence of technologies in the classroom in general and the mathematics classroom in particular, focusing on the convergence of two types of them: convergence of the learner with the technological tools and convergence of the teacher with those tools. This focus is concerned with two instrumental frameworks: the instrumental genesis and the instrumental orchestration. The paper discusses the foundations of these two theoretical frameworks, the components of the frameworks and their educational uses as tools for analysing learners’ and teachers’ convergences with technological tools. Researchers assert that the two frameworks have contributed to the understanding of convergence of the learner and the teacher with technological tools, pointing, at the same time, at the need to extend these frameworks or combine them with other frameworks in order to understand the different aspects of this convergence.
