ICMI Studies
A major ICMI programme is the series of ICMI Studies. This set of activities was launched in the mid-1980s and has acquired a growing importance and influence on the field. It contributes to a better understanding and resolution of the challenges that face multidisciplinary and culturally diverse research and development in mathematics education. Each Study focuses on a topic or issue of prominent current interest in mathematics education. Built around an international conference, it is directed towards the preparation of a published volume intended to promote and assist discussion and action at the international, regional or institutional level. Several ICMI studies, which have already held their study conference, will present their results at ICME-14.
ICMI Awards
The Executive Committee of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) has created three awards in mathematics education research:
— The Felix Klein Award, for a lifelong achievement in mathematics education research
— The Hans Freudenthal Award, for a major programme of research on mathematics education during the past 10 years
— The Emma Castelnuovo Award for Excellence in the Practice of Mathematics Education
At the opening ceremony of ICME-14, the medals and certificates of these ICMI awards given during 2016-2020 will be presented. In addition, the awardees are invited to present special lectures at the Congress.
National Presentations
A National Presentation is an activity during which representatives of a given country will make a presentation on the state and trends in mathematics education in that country. ICME-14 will give several countries the opportunity to present themselves.
Thematic Afternoon
This is an afternoon (on July 15th) left for the Local Organizing Committee to design activities showing Mathematics Education in China.
