The current COVID-19 pandemic has made us rethink ways to provide educational opportunities. The purpose of this discussion paper is to identify issues and challenges in online teaching and learning of mathematics to be explored in future research, and what mathematics education can contribute to this research area. I first identified recent relevant research themes from 2015 to 2020 by reviewing key literature from mathematics education journals. International mathematics education research studies have been examining various issues around designing online learning environments, social interactions and communication in online teaching and learning, and the role of resources and tools. These concerns also exist among Japanese teachers, and I argue Lesson Study can be used creatively in order to seek effective ways to deliver online teaching and learning of mathematics.
