**Jill Adler, past ICMI President (2017-2020)**
===============================================

I write this editorial at the end of May 2024, and in my last months on the ICMI Executive Committee. Since January 2021 I have served in an ex-officio position as immediate Past President and so continuing my involvement in ICMI activities. The most enjoyable recent activity was the successful ICMI Study 26 Conference on Advances in Geometry Education in Reims, France at the end of April. And as I write this, ICMI Study 27 on Mathematics Education and the Socio-Ecological is on its way with its conference planned for January 2025. And just around the corner in a few weeks is our ICME-15 Congress in Sydney, Australia. Plans are afoot to ensure a welcoming and participative time for all with special activities for emerging researchers, for example, to meet with ICMI awardees, and plenary speakers, and others from different countries and contexts.

**Report of ICMI Study 26 conference “Advances in geometry education” – April 22-26, 2024 – Reims (France)**
============================================================================================================

 


The activity of the Study is organized around four focused topics, aiming to provide complementary perspectives and approaches to the teaching and learning of geometry. Contributions to the topics were organized around sets of related sub-topics, each sub-topic focusing on a specific issue and stating a set of questions aiming to lead discussions, as defined in the Discussion Document.

**Latest news about ICMI Study 27 **
------------------------------------
**“Mathematics education and the socio-ecological”**
----------------------------------------------------


We are inviting final submissions - until 24 June, 2024 UTC 11.59pm - from those working on issues in mathematics education that span social (including political) and ecological (environmental) problems, and related ethical concerns. The Study Call is conceptualized around four related themes (each with subthemes): (A) Aims of mathematics education; (B) Scales of mathematics education; (C) Resources of and for mathematics education; and (D) Mathematics education futures. Full details are available in the May 2024 Discussion Document (with Addendum) available on the Study website. A Discussion Group at ICME-15 will take place to elaborate on these themes – all are welcome.

**Special session on ICMI Studies at ICME-15**
==============================================

 


**Friday July 12 (09:00-10:30)**
**Session Chair: Merrilyn Goos, ICMI Vice-President**

 

**Session Information**

 

An ICMI Study is an investigation of a topic of contemporary interest in mathematics education. Each Study is launched by a Discussion Document that surveys the particular topic of interest, identifies themes for investigation, and invites submission of short papers to a Study Conference. The Study Conference is organized around working groups that engage in lively discussion of the topic. The outcome of the Study Conference is the Study Volume – an edited book that provides a critical review and synthesis of current and future trends.

 

In this session, Co-chairs of the two current ICMI Studies will report on their Studies’ progress. In addition, Co-chairs of the two ICMI Studies completed since ICME-14 will launch their respective Study Volumes.

**at the heart of ICMI Activities**
===================================

During ICME-15, two timeslots on Wednesday July 10, 2024 – 16h-17h30 and Saturday July 13, 2024 – 11h-12h30 will be devoted to Discussion Groups (there will be 30 different DG running in parallel during the 2 sessions). Two of these DG are connected with central ICMI activities:

 


1. ICMI Awardees multimedia online resources (AMOR): making the main trends in math education more visible 
2. Advancing Mathematics Education through Networks, Outreach, and Inclusion: Case of CANPS  
 

and are supported by EC members. We hope to see many of you. 

**Further news on ICMI AMOR:**Jean-Luc Dorier, ICMI Secretary-General is very happy to let you know that the units devoted to the two first Felix Klein ICMI Awardees, Guy Brousseau and Ubiratan D’Ambrosio, in the ICMI awardees Multimedia Online Resources (AMOR) project are now complete.

**First National Mathematics Week 2024 in Chile: **
---------------------------------------------------


**Awakening interest and enjoyment of mathematics in action**
-------------------------------------------------------------


As part of the First National Mathematics Week 2024, the Chilean Ministry of Education invited all educational communities in the country to participate in activities, competitions and a series of webinars, held from April 8-13, which culminated in a "National Summit for Mathematics Learning: teaching in equality". The aim of this National Mathematics Week was to awaken interest, appreciation, study and enjoyment of mathematics, and to encourage playful activities linking learning and play for students. The event benefited from the support and commitment of the scientific societies associated with the discipline, Sociedad de Matemática de Chile, SOMACHI, and the Sociedad Chilena de Educación Matemática, SOCHIEM.
