Developments in Mathematical Education
Proceedings of the
Second International Congress on Mathematical Education
At the end of August 1972 around 1400 people from seventy-three countries gathered for the Second International Congress on Mathematical Education at Exeter, England. This book surveys the work of this conference, and presents it as a picture of developing trends in mathematical educati on.
A great deal of the most useful work of the Congress was carried out in its thirty-eight working groups. These dealt with a very wide range of interest and all levels of mathematical education from pre-school to university. The work of these groups is surveyed in Part I and a small selection of representative papers chosen for their general interest is included in Part III.
The Congress was also addressed in plenary session by a number of distinguished speakers concerned with mathematical education; their addresses are reprinted in Part II, together with two papers written especially for the Congress by Professors Piaget and Pólya which mathematics can be drawn. Again, there was great interest in the relationship between mathematics, the uses to which it is put, and the artistry with which it is developed. Though many issues were recognisably international in their scope the Congress fully realised that the detailed application of the principles discussed could only be carried out by people immersed in the culture of the pupils with whom they were dealing.
The work of this Congress is likely to be a starting point of a number of fruitful developments, and a number of follow-up conferences have already been planned to deal with particular issues which were raised. This book summarises and sets out what the Congress achieved.
