An international symposium on ‘Teaching mathematics around the world ’ is being organised at the Institut Henri Poincaré on the 18^th of November, with Luc Trouche, Professor Emeritus in Mathematics Didactics, Institut Français de l'Education, Ecole Normale Supérieur de Lyon, as a keynote speaker.

This event follows the publication of issue no. 93 of the Revue internationale d'éducation de Sèvres devoted to this theme. The teaching of mathematics is a priority issue for all education systems. Through ten case studies from four continents, this issue set out to identify what mathematics is taught around the world, and for what purposes. This symposium will use 4 case studies to launch a discussion with the audience: in Quebec, China, the United Kingdom and France, what are the recent developments in the teaching of mathematics in primary and secondary education?

Speakers:

Quebec: Claudia CORRIVEAU, doctorate in education (mathematics didactics) and full professor in the department of teaching and learning studies, Université de Laval
China: Luc TROUCHE, Professor Emeritus in Didactics of Mathematics, Institut français de l'éducation, Ecole normale supérieure de Lyon
United Kingdom: Kenneth RUTHVEN, Emeritus Professor of Education (Mathematics), University of Cambridge
France: Michèle ARTIGUE, Honorary Professor and Didactician of Mathematics, Université Paris Cité; Pierre ARNOUX, Professor of Mathematics, Université d'Aix-Marseille; and Nadine GRAPIN, Senior Lecturer in Didactics of Mathematics, Université Paris Est Créteil.

Moderated by:

Jean-François CHESNÉ, Associate Professor of Mathematics and Doctor of Didactics of Mathematics, CNESCO and Johan YEBBOU, General Inspector of Education, Sport and Research (Mathematics).
