Abstract: This paper discussed changes in pedagogies that always bring about transformation and innovation in Mathematics Education. These change was discussed from pre-colonial era till present day and the change is due to rising needs in Nigeria. The changed and long existed pedagogies were listed and the e-cooperation Learning strategy which is an innovative strategy was discussed in this paper. Cooperative Learning strategy was chosen in this paper with the reason that literature been reviewed so far in this paper showed that the strategy has been highly effective severally in Mathematics. Whasts App Video–call which is an aspect of technology was also discussed. That is, if this technology is integrated to Cooperative Learning Strategy it will now becomes e–cooperative learning strategy or cooperative WhatsApp Video–Call learning strategy. This e-cooperative learning strategy is possible to be an innovative way of transforming Mathematics Education in Nigeria. This paper concludes that transformation and innovation that have being occurring in Mathematics at different stages since the pre-colonial era used to be as a result of rising needs in Nigeria. Using appropriate pedagogies is a veritable tool for transformation and innovation in Mathematics Education. Consequently, the use of e-cooperative learning strategy as discussed in this paper showed to be an appropriate innovative strategy that is possible to bring a reasonable transformation to Mathematics Education in Nigeria, especially in this era of information and communication technology. Based on this discussion, the paper recommends that, for more transformation in Mathematics, the long existed and other pedagogies should be combined with technologies and let these innovative pedagogies if possible be practiced at all levels of Mathematics Education.
