An e-class can be summarized as web-supported instruction in a blended learning approach. It was developed in a pilot project in 2007 as an innovative way of teaching mathematics that would enable schools to offer optional courses for small numbers of students.

In this paper we discuss some of the e-ingredients of the e-class and their potential for teaching and learning mathematics and science in a blended approach. We report the experiences of the participants of the project and present the future plans based on this work.
