    Subject: Studies and Bulletin
      
I would like to bring to your attention a few points about the ICMI Studies.

---  STUDY 16  (Challenging Mathematics in and beyond the Classroom)

The deadline for submission of contributions to 
this Study is TODAY, AUGUST 31!!!  However should 
you know of people or groups in your environment 
that may be potential contributors to this Study 
but have not yet taken action, please urge them 
to immediately enter into contact with the 
co-chairs of the Study, Ed Barbeau 
(barbeau at math.toronto.edu) and Peter Taylor 
(pjt at olympiad.org) so to examine with them the 
possibility of a submission.  The invitations to 
the Study conference will be issued no later than 
January 31, 2006, with the conference taking 
place in Trondheim, Norway, from June 27 to July 
3, 2006.

Mathematics Teaching and Learning: Rethinking the 
Terrain)

recently been completed and is now available at

---  STUDY 18  (Statistics Education in School 
Mathematics: Challenges for Teaching and Teacher 
Education)

ICMI is pleased to announce its recent decision 
of organizing, together with the International 
Association for Statistical Education (IASE), a 
joint Study on the theme "Statistics Education in 
School Mathematics: Challenges for Teaching and 
Teacher Education".  Carmen Batanero 
(batanero at ugr.es) will act as chair of the 
International Programme Committee, whose 
composition will be announced soon.

The current plans are to have the Discussion 
Document available around September 2006.  The 
Study Conference will take place in July 2008 in 
Monterrey, México, as a satellite conference to 
ICME-11.


I take this opportunity to inform you that issue
