Leung,?** ======================================================== **ICMI President (2021-2024)** ============================== As I write this editorial, there is less than one month remaining in the term of the current ICMI Executive Committee (EC). Many at this stage might say something like, ?Time flies; our term as the ICMI EC seems so short.? However, for me personally, the past three years and eleven months have felt quite long. At the start of our term, COVID-19 was impacting humanity at its hardest. The entire world seemed to have come to a standstill, waiting for the pandemic to subside and for life, including our students? school life, to return to normal (half a year into my presidency, I found myself confined to a quarantine hotel room in Shanghai for three weeks, waiting to attend ICME-14!). The EC waited and waited earnestly for our first in-person meeting (which did not occur until more than a year into our term) so that we could ?start working.? We felt, and still feel, that much more could have been accomplished if not for the pandemic. We will be remembered in the history of ICMI as the ?COVID EC.?....

Using mathematics in art opens doors to new ideas, beautiful and captivating creations.** ? A special invitation is sent to teachers to celebrate mathematics, art, and creativity, showcasing the harmony of logic and imagination, where numbers dance with colors, equations sculpt beauty, and ideas transcend boundaries to inspire and innovate. Creativity unites mathematics and art, fields that may seem separate, but were originally intertwined, both seeking to reveal the beauty of the universe. ? A special feature of 2025 will be the **IDM School Program**. The program connects schools from different countries that share a common language (English, French, Portuguese and Spanish) for a period of several weeks before or around the IDM. Teachers and their classes can participate in interesting and amusing math activities based on the 2025 IDM theme. Participating teachers will be offered a free virtual workshop in their language presenting attractive activities and background information. Afterward, teachers will join a group in a chat tool in the chosen language to exchange ideas and share experiences. If desired, schools can also work more closely together, organizing online meetings and/or live exchanges between students. The IDM team will moderate the groups.

Professor Emeritus ? The University of Chicago, USA. ? I have attended every ICME since ICME-2 in Exeter, if one counts attending ICME-14 in Shanghai remotely by Zoom as "attending". I looked forward to coming to Australia for ICME-15 with special anticipation, because of the 8-year in-person gap since ICME-13 in Hamburg, and also because this would be the first ICME that I attended in person in which I was not somewhere on the program either as a workshop or discussion leader, or as an invited lecturer....

A brief and personal report.** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 47th REM was held on September 17-20, 2024 in the city of Catamarca (northwestern Argentina). As part of REM's identity, linked to its origins, the 47th REM was held in conjunction with the annual scientific meeting of mathematics organised by the Argentine Mathematical Union (AMU). ? Briefly, REM and the joint AMU meetings started in 1977, at a time when the development of mathematics education (ME) as a scientific field was almost null in Argentina. In that year, motivated by the international advances in ME, a group of mathematicians proposed holding the first REM within the framework of the existing AMU meetings. Currently, the REM continues to be held annually and coexists with other Argentine encounters on ME. ? The 47th REM activities were organized by the AMU Education Commission (created in 2015). The activities for the 47th REM were organized by the commission into three main categories of work: three plenary lectures, workshops for teachers or future teachers and oral presentations on research reports (RR) or accounts of classroom experiences (CE).

The Association for Mathematics Education of South Africa was formed in June 1993, just less than a year before the first democratic elections of South Africa in April 1994. Since 1994, AMESA has had 29 National Congresses, the last one being in Kimberley, Northern Cape in June 2024. ? **South African Mathematics Team Competition** The South African Mathematics Team Competition took place on Saturday September 14, 2024. Teams from different schools combine to form local or regional teams, comprising junior learners (from Grade 8 & 9) and senior learners (from Grades 10 ? 12). The first part of the Competition is a one-hour individual problem paper, consisting of 15 problems in multiple-choice format. After a break for refreshments and a discussion of team strategy, the second part of the Competition takes place. The second part consists of ten difficult problems, but now the teams may work together and must submit just one set of answers. The current champions for both the Junior and Senior sections hail from the Western Cape Province of South Africa. **South African Mathematics Awards** ? The South African Mathematics Foundation, comprising the Association for Mathematics Education in South Africa (AMESA) and the South African Mathematics Society, held its annual awards on Saturday October 19, 2024 in Cape Town. 102 learners from Grades 4 to 12, accompanied by their parents/teachers as well as undergraduate and post-graduate students, attended the event where they received certificates and medals for outstanding achievement in the South African Mathematics Challenge, the Old Mutual South African Mathematics Olympiad, the ASSA Mathematics Team Competition and the Standard Bank South African Mathematics Tertiary Olympiad. ? **AMESA Review of Grade 12 Mathematics related Examinations** The final school year exit level Grade 12 mathematics related examinations (Mathematics/Mathematical Literacy/Technical Mathematics) took place on November 1 and 4, 2024.

There have been several events of interest for our group. In fact, many of them have been promoted, organized or coordinated by members of the HPM community. ? First, shortly before ICME-15, and as a satellite event, the 11th meeting of the HPM group was held on the Campus of the University New South Wales. This was already reported in September?s ICMI newsletter. ? Then, three activities were held during ICME-15. Topic Study Group 5.4 ?The role of the history of mathematics in mathematics education? (Abdellah el Idrissi, and Renaud Chorlay), and two discussion groups: ?Epistemology, history and sociology in mathematics teachers? education: interactions and implementations? (?velyne Barbin, David Guillemete, and Ysette Weiss), and ?History of Mathematics Education: accomplishments and open questions? (Alexander Karp). ? In addition to all these ICME-15 related events, two more conferences took place during summer. The first Summer School in the History of Mathematics Education was held in Lisbon (Universidade NOVA) in July. Also, the eighth offering of the International Conference on the History of Mathematics Education was held in Warsaw (Polish Academy of Sciences) in September (see picture of the opening ceremony). ?
