Dear ICMI Representatives and Chairs of ICMI Affiliated Study
Groups,<br><br>
At its first meeting held last June in London, the current Executive
Committee of ICMI finalised the decision to launch an electronic
newsletter. This project had been under discussion for a certain
time and we are now happy to announce that the first issue of "ICMI
News" will appear early December.<br><br>
Please find below a note from the Editor of ICMI News, Jaime Carvalho e
Silva, member of the ICMI Executive Committee. You are invited to
disseminate it as widely as possible.<br><br>
The ICMI EC wishes to express its gratitude to the International
Mathematical Union for kindly offering its logistic support for the
publication and dissemination of the ICMI newsletter. It will
appear every two months, alternating with IMU own electronic newsletter,
IMU-Net
(<a href="http://www.mathunion.org/Publications/Newsletter/" eudora="autourl">
www.mathunion.org/Publications/Newsletter/</a>).<br><br>
Best wishes,<br><br>
Bernard<br><br>
======================================================<br><br>
What is ICMI News?<br><br>
ICMI News is the new Electronic Newsletter of the International
Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI). This newsletter aims to
improve communication between ICMI and the worldwide community interested
in mathematics education, informing about actions and recommendations of
ICMI, highlighting issues that are under discussion and reporting about
ongoing activities.<br>
In addition, ICMI News will report on major activities by the ICMI
Affiliated Study Groups (HPM, PME, IOWME, WFNMC and ICTMA), on major
international events related to mathematics education and on other topics
of general interest to the community of educational researchers,
curriculum designers, educational policy makers, teachers of mathematics,
mathematicians, mathematic educators and others interested in
mathematical education around the world. Feedback from readers is
welcome.<br><br>
The Editor of ICMI News will be Jaime Carvalho e Silva, from the
Department of Mathematics of the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of
the University of Coimbra (FCTUC), Portugal and member of the ICMI
Executive Committee. He can be contacted at
icmi-news-editor@mathunion.org<br><br>
<br>
