ICMI Members are neither individuals nor organizations, but countries. In the following, we use the notion of “country” as defined in the IMU Statutes (Article 4): “The term ‘country’ is to be understood as including diplomatic protectorates and any territory in which independent scientific activity in mathematics has been developed, and in general shall be construed as to secure the broadest and most effective participation of mathematicians in the scientific work of the Union.”
Terms of Reference of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI), a commission of the International Mathematical Union (IMU).
Since 1952, ICMI as a Commission of IMU is ruled by IMU Statutes, but also by its own terms of reference, whose first version was adopted at the second IMU GA in 1954 and have evolved since.
Previous versions of the ICMI Terms of Reference were adopted in

ADiMA (Association des Didacticiens des Mathématiques d’Afrique de l’Ouest et du Nord, and in English the Western and North African Association for Researchers in Mathematics Education) was created as a regional network for mathematics education within Western and North Africa.
ADiMA aims to promote mathematics education in Western and North African countries, to meet the challenges facing the African continent in terms of research and to bring their communities closer together.
The Africa ICMI Association (AFRICMA) is a regional organization affiliated to the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI).
The Espace Mathématique Francophone (EMF) was created to promote reflection and exchanges within the French-speaking world on the lively issues of mathematics teaching in our current societies, at the primary, secondary and higher education levels, as well as on issues related to the initial and in-service training of teachers.
