1 HPM 2008 History and Pedagogy of Mathematics The HPM Satellite Meeting of ICME July 2008 Centro Cultural del México Contemporáneo, Mexico City, México SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT 1. Aim and focus The HPM 2008 is the seventh quadrennial meeting of the International Study Group on the Relations between the History and Pedagogy of Mathematics (the HPM Group), affiliated to ICMI. It is a satellite meeting of the corresponding ICME (International Congress on Mathematical Education) and is scheduled close to ICME. These quadrennial meetings are a major activity of HPM, to bring together those who are interested on the relation between the history of mathematics and mathematics education such as: Researchers in mathematics education, and its relation to the history of mathematics; Mathematics teachers at all levels who are eager to get insights on how the history of mathematics may be integrated into teaching and help students to learn mathematics; Historians of mathematics, who wish to talk about their research; Mathematicians, who want to learn about new possibilities to teach their discipline; All those with an interest in the history of mathematics and pedagogy. 2. Main themes The HPM 2008 is a place where mathematicians, educators, historians, researchers and students, can make presentations and participate in discussions. The programme and activities are structured around the following main themes: 1. Integrating the History of Mathematics in Mathematics Education. 2. Topics in the History of Mathematics Education. 3. Mathematics and its relation to science, technology and the arts: historical issues and educational implications.

2 4. Cultures and Mathematics. 5. Historical, philosophical and epistemological issues in Mathematics Education. 6. Mathematics from the Americas 3. Activities during HPM2008 During the HPM 2008 there will be one-hour plenary lectures on the six main themes one-hour panel discussions. parallel sessions of 25-minute oral presentations, followed by 5-minute discussions. poster exhibitions with discussion sessions exhibitions of (old) books and other didactical material A limited number of 1-hour workshops in which participants are actively participating in studying a specific subject on the basis of historical, or didactical material, which motivates and orients the exchange of ideas and the discussion among the participants (e.g. original historical texts, didactical material, students worksheets etc). 4. Time and place Time: Monday 14 July - Friday 18 July 2008 Location: Centro Cultural del México Contemporáneo (CCMC), Ciudad de México (Mexico City), México ( ccmc.org.mx). Address: Leandro Valle # 20, Centro Histórico, Ciudad de México.
