Aims
1. To gather teachers, mathematicians, mathematics educators, researchers and other congress participants who are interested in mathematical competitions and other challenging contexts in the teaching and learning of mathematics at all levels.
2. To present research results and reports on activities that will allow the group to make an updated sketch of the state of the art, thus further developing the aims of the 16th ICMI Study, and colouring it in by addressing new trends and developments in research and practice in mathematics competitions and other challenging contexts and their effect on mathematics teaching and learning. Consult www.wfnmc.org to find the aims and focus of TSG34 and the questions that may be addressed, and to learn about the goals and expectations of the organizing team and pinpoint research problems of special interest to the group.The same information will soon be available at: http://www.icme12.org/. The schedule for the work of the study group at ICME-12 will be announced in the near future, it will include the presentation of papers and a possible joint session with the study group on creativity. The organizing team also invites speakers to submit their papers to the WFNMC journal for possible publication in a special issue. In summary, the organizing team welcomes all contributions related to mathematical challenges, the state of the art, follow-up studies and the results of studies on the impact of these activities on mathematics education.
Guidelines for submission
Those wishing to join the study group are requested to submit a paper of between 1500 and 2500 words in length addressing issues highlighted or others that make a significant contribution to the aims and focus of the group. This contribution should be received no later than December 1, 2011 both via e- mail to the co-chairs and through the on-line submission system at the Congress website. We look forward to receiving your contributions and kindly ask all researchers who are interested in the subject to share their knowledge and experience with other members of the group. The proposals must be written in English and be attached in .pdf file. For a full paper, an ICME-12 - template will be available later.
