<div><br></div>
<div>1. Editorial: Some views of ICMI at the crossing of two
ECs</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>As this is the last editorial to appear in ICMI News under the
current ICMI Executive Committee, whose term of office ends with this
year 2009, we felt appropriate for the two of us to prepare a joint
note reflecting our common vision of some recent developments in the
life of ICMI -- developments which point to what we consider to be a
promising future.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>We wish to stress at the outset that during the last three years,
this EC, pursuing the work of the previous ICMI EC and in faithfulness
to the values of ICMI, has tried to contribute to the improvement of
mathematics education worldwide by fostering collaboration and
exchange between all those with professional interest in mathematics
education -- mathematicians, mathematics educators, teachers, teacher
educators... -- and promoting values of international
solidarity.</div>
<div><br>
These last three years have been marked by a series of important
events for ICMI, in particular the celebration in March 2008 of the
ICMI centennial in Roma, as well as in July 2008 the first ICME
congress to be organised in Latin-America. The ICMI Study
programme was also a very vigorous component of ICMI actions, with the
holding of the conferences for two ICMI Studies (# 18 on Statistics
Education and # 19 on Proof and Proving in Mathematics Education), the
publication in the New ICMI Study Series (NISS) of the volumes
resulting from four Studies (## 14, 15, 16 and 17), and the launching
of two new Studies: the EIMI Study (# 20) on Educational Interfaces
between Mathematics and Industry, in collaboration with ICIAM, whose
conference will be held in Lisboa next April, and the Study on
Mathematics Education and Language Diversity (# 21) whose Discussion
Document is very soon to be issued. The preparation of ICME-12,
to be held in July 2012 and for the second time in Asia, is now
intensively on its way and the ICME-12 IPC had its first meeting last
June in Seoul. To this must be added the specific conferences
and activities organized by the five ICMI Affiliated Study Groups,
which have substantially contributed to help ICMI achieve its
mission.<br>
<br>
In order to improve ICMI communication, the bimonthly e-newsletter
ICMI News has been launched two years ago and the ICMI website
revamped earlier this year. Moreover an ICMI historical website
has been realized by a group of Italian colleagues. A revised
contract has been concluded with Springer, that now allows making the
outcome of the ICMI Studies published in the NISS Series freely
accessible to everyone after three years only, and a Digital Library
has been established, accessible through the ICMI website.<br>
<br>
Recent ECs have put a lot of energy in strengthening ICMI regional
networks and we are pleased to see these efforts now be rewarded,
especially in Africa. The links between ICMI and UNESCO, which
once were quite intense but had weakened over recent decades, are now
effective and productive again. In particular, UNESCO is
currently publishing a document on the challenges of mathematics and
sciences education in basic education, whose redaction one of us
(M.A.) has been asked to pilot for the mathematical part, and to which
the ICMI community has substantially contributed. Links and
collaboration with our mother institution IMU have also strengthened
and we have launched jointly the ambitious Felix Klein project, whose
enthusiastic reception by the community is extremely
stimulating.</div>
<div><br>
Finally, the ICMI Terms of Reference have very recently been
substantially revised in order to take into account changes that had
occurred in the governance of ICMI as well as the new status of
Associate IMU Member recently created by IMU. These new
Terms introduce a notion of Affiliate Organization, extending that of
Affiliated Study Group and opening the way to new forms of
international collaboration.<br>
<br>
All these achievements are the result of collective work, within the
ICMI EC of course, but more globally within the international ICMI
community. Without this community, its expertise and its
commitment, ICMI would have neither strength nor power. ICMI
country representations, and sub-commissions where they exist, ICMI
regional networks, ICMI Affiliate Organizations, are all essential for
structuring this community and making it powerful.<br>
<br>
On behalf of the 2007-2009 ICMI EC, and in particular on our behalf,
we would like to express our deepest gratitude to all those who have
brought their invaluable contribution to the mission of ICMI. We
are sure that, as they have supported our work, they will also support
the work of the new ICMI EC, of its President, Bill Barton, and its
Secretary-General, Jaime Carvalho e Silva. <br>
</div>
<div>Together, we, all the members of the community that ICMI serves
as a commission of IMU, must collaborate and do our best in order to
make ICMI improve as an organization, so that it may more and more
efficiently address the challenges that mathematics education faces
today, as these challenges, despite our collective efforts and
achievements, are far from being overcome.<br>

<div>2. New Terms of Reference for ICMI</div>
<div><br>
Following a series of discussions between the Executive Committees of
ICMI and of the International Mathematical Union (IMU), its mother
organisation, revised Terms of Reference for ICMI were formally
adopted by the EC of IMU on December 31, 2009, while the ICMI EC had
adopted on the same day Guidelines pertaining to these Terms.<br>
<br>
The new Terms of Reference of ICMI and the Guidelines are the result
of a thorough revision of the previous version. They aim at
reflecting the evolution in the governance of ICMI so to ensure that
all those having interest in ICMI and its activities clearly
understand the distribution of duties and rights among the many actors
involved in the life of ICMI. With this revision, the ICMI Terms
are now split into two parts: the first part is (as previously) under
the jurisdiction of the IMU EC, while the new second part (Guidelines
for the ICMI Terms of Reference) is under the jurisdiction of the ICMI
EC.<br>
<br>
Other changes include the following:<br>
<br>
-- A statement related to participation to the ICMI General
Assembly has been added to Clause 2 to stress the importance of the
Assembly, now responsible for the election of the ICMI EC.<br>
<br>
-- Clause 3, about the ICMI General Assembly, specifies in
particular that the only members of the ICMI GA having voting rights
are the representatives of Full Member countries of IMU.
Consequently, the representatives of IMU Associate Members or non-IMU
Members of ICMI, the representatives of ICMI Affiliate organizations,
and the ICMI EC members, have no voting rights at the GA.<br>
<br>
-- Clause 4c stresses that co-optation on the ICMI EC should be
exceptional.<br>
<br>
-- Clause 9 introduces an important new notion, that of
"Affiliate Organization", of which the current notion of
"Affiliated Study Group" is becoming one "cas de
figure". Affiliation is now possible not only for groups
devoted to a specific field of interest in mathematics education, like
the current five ICMI Affiliated Study Groups, but also to
multi-national organizations with interest in mathematics education.
We trust that this new element will be helpful in facilitating and
supporting ICMI efforts about international collaboration and
exchanges in mathematics education.<br>
<br>
It is the hope of the IMU and ICMI ECs that these new Terms of
Reference for ICMI will be a useful tool for ICMI and the community it
serves.</div>
<div><br>
The new Terms and Guidelines are accessible on the webpage</div>

<div>3. CIAEM becomes an Affiliate Organization of ICMI<br>
</div>
<div>The 'Comité Interamericano de Educación Matemática'
(Inter-American Committee on Mathematical Education) is now officially
affiliated to ICMI, thus being the first multi-national mathematical
education society to become linked to ICMI under the new scheme of
"Affiliate Organisation" introduced through the revision of
the ICMI Terms of Reference adopted by the IMU Executive Committee on
December 31, 2009. This affiliation was approved by the
Executive Committees of both ICMI and CIAEM.</div>
<div><br>
CIAEM thus joins the five other organizations that were already
affiliated to ICMI (under the umbrella of "Study
Groups"):<br>
<br>
HPM The International Study Group on the Relations between the
History and Pedagogy of Mathematics (1976)<br>
PME The International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics
Education (1976)<br>
IOWME The International Organization of Women and Mathematics
Education (1987)<br>
WFNMC The World Federation of National Mathematics Competitions
(1994)<br>
ICTMA The International Community of Teachers of Mathematical
Modelling and Applications (2003)<br>
<br>
It is probably most appropriate that CIAEM becomes the first
multi-national mathematical education society affiliated to ICMI under
the new scheme introduced through the recent revision of the ICMI
Terms of Reference. CIAEM was indeed founded in 1961 at the
initiative of Marshall Stone, who at that time was the President of
ICMI, thus becoming the first "regional entity" of ICMI.
Hence ICMI was in no way indifferent to the birth of CIAEM, to say the
least. It may be of interest to note that a "Memorandum on
affiliation of CIAEM to ICMI" was formally adopted by the ICMI EC
when it met during the 1974 International Congress of Mathematicians
in Vancouver (as reported in the ICMI Bulletin no. 5, 1975, p. 5).
However this memorandum does not seem to have been reflected in the
ICMI Terms, and it is not easy to see its actual impact in the life of
ICMI and CIAEM. While the intensity of the contacts between ICMI
and CIAEM may have varied over the years, depending possibly on the
personality of those in charge of these bodies, it is clearly the
common vision of both the current ICMI and CIAEM ECs that, following
some efforts for a closer and more regular collaboration in recent
years between the two organisations, these links are now in excellent
health. To use the words of Angel Ruiz, CIAEM President
and in-coming ICMI Vice-President, right now is a special moment to
tighten still further the connections between ICMI and CIAEM and work
together, so to foster the development of mathematics and mathematics
education in the Americas, and especially Latin America. It is
the hope of the ICMI and CIAEM ECs that the status of ICMI Affiliated
Organization, with the moral obligations for regular contact that it
brings, will be useful in helping these links to remain vivid and
productive over the years. <br>
<br>
It should be noted that the 50th anniversary of CIAEM will be
celebrated in 2011 on the occasion of the XIII Conferencia
Interamericana de Educación Matemática (XIII Inter-American
Conference on Mathematics Education) to be held in Recife, Brasil (see
http://xiii.ciaem-iacme.org).<br>
<br>
More information about CIAEM can be accessed on the its website<br>
http://www.ciaem-iacme.org/<br>
<br>
or on the CIAEM page within the ICMI website<br>
http://www.mathunion.org/icmi/about-icmi/affiliate-organizations/math<span
></span>-education-societies/ciaem/<br>
</div>
<div>The ICMI EC is currently pursuing discussions with two other
multi-national organizations as regards a possible affiliation to ICMI
and positive developments should be announced in a near future by the
next ICMI EC.<br>

<div>4. CIAEM-IACME<br>
</div>
<div>The 'Comité Interamericano de Educación Matemática' CIAEM
(Interamerican Committee on Math Education IACME) is a regional
organization that has been associated with the International
Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) since its inception. It
shares ICMI's purpose in promoting research in Math Education. See
http://<u>www.ciaem-iacme.org</u>. From 2010, due to new terms of
ICMI, CIAEM is formally an affiliated organization of ICMI.</div>
<div><br>
CIAEM was founded in 1961 by a group of mathematicians and math
educators from the three Americas, led by the famous mathematician,
Marshall Stone, from the United States, who was at the time the
President of ICMI. The principal objective of CIAEM was to bring
together educators from throughout the Americas to evaluate and
reformulate mathematics curricula in general, but, especially, to
promote the development of the countries of Latin America. The first
Interamerican Conference on Math Education was held in Bogotá,
Colombia, in December of 1961. There, the first Executive Committee of
CIAEM was created. The second Interamerican Conference on Math
Education was held in Lima, Peru, in 1966.<br>
<br>
These first Conferences prompted a productive movement for Math
Education in the Americas, despite the challenges of geography,
communication, and, principally, the economy. From the beginning the
Conferences have been held regularly: Bahía Blanca, Argentina,
November, 1972, 209 participants from 22 countries; Caracas,
Venezuela, December, 1975, 281 participants from 22 countries;
Campinas-SP, Brazil, February, 1979, 569 participants from 28
countries; Guadalajara, Mexico, November, 1985, 180 participants from
24 countries; Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, July, 1987, 316
participants from 22 countries; Miami, USA, August, 1991, 141
participants from 21 countries; Santiago, Chile, August, 1995, 1080
participants from 17 countries; Maldonado, Uruguay, August, 1999, 600
participants from 20 countries; Blumenau, Brazil, August, 2003, 600
participants from 20 countries, and, finally, in Querétaro, Mexico,
in July, 2007, with more than 800 participants from 25 countries.<br>
<br>
The XIIIth Conference is going to be held in Recife, Brazil, in June
2011, where CIAEM will celebrate 50 years of life. See<u>
http://xiii.ciaem-iacme.org</u><br>
<br>
CIAEM puts an emphasis on the academic and scientific quality of the
event, and on the presentation of research results and serious
proposals for improving Math Education.<br>
<br>
Since its creation, the following persons have occupied the Presidency
of CIAEM: Marshall Stone (1961-1972), Luis Santaló (1972-1979),
Ubiratan D`Ambrosio (1979-1987), Eduardo Luna (1987-1995), Fidel
Oteiza (1995-1999), Carlos Vasco (1999-2003), Salett Biembengut
(2003-2007) and Ángel Ruiz (2007-2011).<br>
<br>
In the 11th International Congress on Math Education (ICME 11)
Ubiratan D'Ambrosio received the 2005 Felix Klein Medal from ICMI
for his meritorious achievements and the results of his life-long
dedication to Math Education.<br>

<div>7. Request from the European Mathematical Society</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Dear colleagues<br>
</div>
<div>As you may know, the European Mathematical Society (EMS)
(<u>http://www.euro-math-soc.eu/</u>), consisting of about 50
mathematical societies in Europe, 20 academic institutional members,
and many individual members has a number of standing committees under
which the 'Education' committee is working to bridge the gap
between mathematics as a field and its teaching and learning in
society.<br>
</div>
<div>A new committee
(<u>http://www.euro-math-soc.eu/comm-education.html</u>) was
established this autumn; Günter Törner
(<u>guenter.toerner@uni-due.de</u>) is the chair and Despina Potari
(<u>dpotari@math.uoa.gr</u>) is vice-chair. The committee will become
active from January 1, 2010 after Konrad Krainer
(<u>konrad.krainer@uni-klu.ac.at</u>) has opened the new term
temporarily on behalf of the Executive Committee of EMS.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The Committee is interested in becoming a platform for exchange
of information, experience and views, and to explore issues and
problems of significance to European mathematics education and promote
its development everywhere.<br>
</div>
<div>The committee also decided to start with an inventory: Solid
findings in mathematics education. We regard it helpful to identify
two or three findings in mathematics education which seem to be
established and thus spread the information to other interested groups
in Europe. Based on the answers, possibly a small volume or booklet
might be produced.<br>
</div>
<div>Your comments and hints are welcome.</div>
