Colleagues:<br>
I am the Canadian rep for ICMI (International Commission on Math
Instruction), taking over from Eric Muller. I will
receive periodic news of meetings and publications, etc. often from
Bernard Hodgson, the Secretary-General of ICMI, and I will be passing
them along to cms and cmesg, and possibly others as well.
Please feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions or
concerns. <br>
best, <br>
Peter Taylor<br><br>

Dear colleague,<br>
As you know, the Executive Committee of the International Commission on
Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) some time ago created two awards in
mathematics education research :<br>
. the Hans Freudenthal Award, for a major programme of research on
mathematics education,<br>
. the Felix Klein Award, for lifelong achievement in mathematics
education research,<br><br>
and an ICMI Awards Committee has been appointed for selecting the
awardees. The President of ICMI has appointed me to chair this committee,
the other members of which are anonymous until their terms have come to
an end.<br><br>
The first recipients of these two awards, Professor Guy Brousseau
(France) for the Felix Klein Award and Professor Celia Hoyles (UK) for
the Hans Freudenthal Award, formally received these at the opening
ceremonies of ICME-10 in Copenhagen, in July 2004<b>.</b> The two 2005
awards went to Professors Ubiratan D'Ambrosio (Brazil) (the Klein Award)
and Paul Cobb (USA) (the Freudenthal Award). These awards will formally
be presented to the recipients at the opening ceremony of ICME-11, to be
held in Monterrey, México, in July 2008.<br><br>
The ICMI Awards Committee is now entering a third cycle of selecting
awardees for 2007. The result of this process will be known by the end of
2007. The 2007 Awards, too, will be presented to the recipients at
ICME-11. As was the case for the first two cycles, the ICMI Awards
Committee welcomes suggestions coming from the mathematics education
community in addition to wishing this information to be widely
distributed. I am thus sending you this letter in the hope that you will
distribute this information to relevant parties in your environment.<br>
Nominations of candidates for the Felix Klein or the Hans Freudenthal
Awards have to be accompanied by summaries presenting the persons
nominated and the reasons for the nomination. Moreover, nominations also
have to include the names and coordinates of two or three persons whom
the committee may contact for further information.<br><br>
<b>All proposals must be sent by e-mail (mn@ruc.dk) to myself no later
than by 15 November 2007.<br><br>
</b>Thank you in advance for your help,<br>
Yours sincerely,<br>
Mogens Niss<br>
Chair of the ICMI Awards Committee<br><br>
