Discussion will address questions like these:
What are the most important current problems and challenges pertaining to the conditions and practice of mathematics teachers?
Are there principal differences in the conditions and practice of mathematics teachers and teachers of other subjects?
Are there principal differences on current problems and challenges in the conditions and practice of mathematics teachers among different counties?
Are there issues or dilemmas of a controversial nature?
Room B201 and B202
What are the most important current problems and challenges pertaining to distance teaching and learning of mathematics and where are they located? Are there issues or dilemmas of a controversial nature? How should these problems, issues and challenges be dealt with?

Roberto Casas Auditorium (FACPYA) and room A201
DG 20 will examine important questions regarding problems and challenges in primary mathematics education around the world. The age range that this discussion group deals with is from 3-12 years old. We are interested in an international perspective in our discussions and will continue to consider some of the themes that were brought up in this discussion group from ICME 2004 as well as introduce some new foci for our discussions.

Questions central to the discussion
Room F101 and F102
Following ICME-10 an ICMI Study titled “Challenging Mathematics in and beyond the classroom” was conducted and the study volume is in progress. The title of DG19 at ICME-11 reflects the tendency to widen the sphere of interest of the group to include not only mathematical competitions but other activities and opportunities of a challenging nature.
Jorge Urencio Auditorium - FIME
What is the relationship between ethnomathematics, mathematics and anthropology and the politics of mathematics education? What evidence is there, and how do we get more, that school programmes incorporating ethnomathematical ideas succeed in achieving their (ethnomathematical?) aims? What are the implications of existing ethnomathematical studies for mathematics and mathematics education? What is the relationship of different languages (or other cultural features) to the production of different mathematics?
