This chapter is dedicated to the analysis of the mutual influences between tools and mathematics curricula. Mathematics learning indeed develops `under the umbrella' of the `really used' tools. And the development of tools depends---partially---on the curricula intended as well as implemented: the design of calculators specially conceived `for the test' is a clear illustration of this influence. This chapter aims to evidence that the integration of tools in mathematics curricula is far from being a linear and natural process. It depends on a set of conditions designing new tasks, new techniques; training teachers; finding new equilibrium for teachers' and students' mathematical activity.
