**Working Together to Improve the Impact of Research on Practice**

 

 

When I was serving as the editor-in-chief for the Journal for Research in Mathematics Education (JRME), one of our foci was to increase the impact of research on practice. Our very first editorial addressed improving the impact of research on practice. This is not a new idea. In fact, journals such as JRME and Educational Studies in Mathematics (ESM) were established to address the impact of research on mathematics classroom instruction. JRME was launched in 1970 by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics as a venue for systematic, rigorous research aimed at improving mathematics teaching. At the time, authors were encouraged to...

This project aims at building online resources reflecting highly significant and influential research in mathematics education at an international level that could serve as a reference not only for researchers in the field but also for educators, teachers, curriculum developers, and policy makers and other agents in the field. In particular, the project could serve as a basis for a PhD training program and induction into mathematics education research.

Context of Mathematics Education in ICMI Countries
--------------------------------------------------


As announced in the last newsletter, when reshaping its website, ICMI EC decided to replace the database project with a wider presentation of the context of mathematics education in every ICMI country according to the following 5 sections:


- Associations for Mathematics Education 
- Research Institutions for Mathematics Education Research 
- Journals for Mathematics Education Research 
- Mathematics Teacher Education 
- National Syllabus and Standard 
At the moment, the information is accessible for the following countries: Australia, Bangladesh, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, India, Italy, Malawi, andSwitzerland. We hope that this list will grow rapidly!****[**Here you find the website**](https://62s8s.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/6rqJfgq8dIXkcfVFXvor3X7aQcd/7t8GqJywTWcu)**. **

**Updates from ICME-16**
------------------------
========================
------------------------


**David Janda, ICME-16 Co-Chair of LOC**


Dear colleagues and friends in mathematics education,

As a co-chair of the Local Organizing Committee for ICME-16 (Prague, July 9–16, 2028), it is my pleasure to bring you news of ICME-16 preparations. (..)

An important early step in this process is the first International Program Committee (IPC) meeting, scheduled for September 15–19, 2025 in Prague. We are now finalizing the materials for this meeting so that within just five days, the IPC can prepare a substantial part of the scientific program. You can meet the members of the IPC on our website at [https://62s8s.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/6rqJfgq8dIb4ha5YWYdwujNRhEh/zJ2AyytH7OSG](https://www.icme16.org). (...)

We are well aware that the most important element for the success of the congress does not lie in Prague itself but in the participation of colleagues in mathematics education from all around the world. By now, it almost seems that what remains to be resolved is just the arrangement of tables in the foyer. So why hesitate to come to Prague in 2028? Show us your support and let us know if you intend to join us in Prague by signing up at [https://62s8s.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/6rqJfgq8dIcjk2Ni0s3UqKVNKXj/bHCdd9Dk3KHJ](https://62s8s.r.sp1-brevo.net/mk/cl/f/sh/SMK1E8tHeGuP0uyN3CZWReFRSRgh/qXDUffn-fItAinterest-form) to receive further updates.

** Updates from ICMI Study 27**
===============================

**Kate le Roux and Alf Coles, Co-Chairs of ICMI Study 27**


The ICMI Study 27 topic “Mathematics Education and the Socio-Ecological” is new relative to past ICMI Study topics. As Co-Chairs, we are deeply cognizant of the responsibility that comes with the task of realizing the growing body of work within this topic as a Study Volume. Throughout the Study process we have been challenged: *What does it mean to be ‘learning’ and ‘coming to know’ the role of mathematics education in our current, but also future, socio-ecological world*—*within the practices and structures of an ICMI Study?*Since February 2025, Study participants have been crafting the Study Volume, with first drafts of chapters currently going into review. 

In this newsletter we share our emerging thoughts on addressing the above-mentioned challenge.

>From June 16 – 18, the 14th MCG conference was held in Karlstad, Sweden. It was a joint conference together with the larger organization European Council for High Ability (ECHA). The organizers were Karlstad University in collaboration with the City of Karlstad; the chairs were Elisabet Mellroth and Valerie Margrain, both of Karlstad University. Around 200 participants attended the joint conference, with 70 focusing on the MCG strand. In total, there were about 140 presentations, including symposia, lectures, workshops, posters, and keynotes—35 of which were MCG-focused. Many ECHA presentations also highlighted mathematics and highly able students.

A highlight was Professor **Jorryt van Bommel’s** keynote in mathematics education, praised as “truly inspiring” by participants. The full proceedings, including her paper, are freely available online.

** Thoughts in the aftermath of PME 48 in Santiago, Chile **

After 15 years, PME returned to Latin America, with PME 48 hosted by the Universidad de Chile and Universidad de O’Higgins. The conference gathered about 340 participants from over 40 countries under the theme *“Making sure that mathematics education research reaches the classroom.”* Plenary speakers Jinfa Cai (USA), Soledad Estrella (Chile), Judy Anderson (Australia), and Wim Van Dooren (Belgium) offered insights on how research can shape teaching and learning. Throughout the week, participants were able to present and discuss their research and share experiences, thoughts, and ideas for the future. We are glad that the PME community decided to travel all the way to the southwestern corner of America, enhancing the visibility and impact of local researchers and research programs and promoting exchange between teams from different countries and contexts. The event, supported by multiple Chilean institutions, strengthened regional visibility and fostered global collaboration. We hope that we won’t have to wait another 15 years for PME to come again to Latin America.

**Chile Celebrates Mathematics Day 2025 Honoring Ramón Picarte**
**Leslie Jiménez, Paola Comparin, Mauricio Godoy, and Mariela Carvacho Bustamante**


>From June 9–13, Chile celebrated its annual *Día de las Matemáticas*, honoring Ramón Picarte Mujica (1830–1894), who is recognized as the first proper Chilean mathematician and scientist known for his innovative calculation tables and strong social commitment. Organized by the Chilean Mathematics Outreach Network (DIMAT), the week featured nationwide activities in schools, universities, and communities, alongside vibrant social media engagement using the hashtags #DíaDeLasMatemáticasChile, #diadelasmatematicaschile, #RamónPicarte, #ramonpicarte #MatemáticasParaChile, #matemáticasparachile, #díadelasmatemáticascl, and #DíaDeLasMatemáticasCL. The aim was to invite citizens to take part in conversations, workshops, and outreach activities. This year’s Mathematics Day reaffirmed that, much like Ramón Picarte envisioned in his time, mathematics continues to be a powerful tool not only for scientific progress but also for social transformation in Chile.

We were welcomed in the beautiful building of the Campus Victoire in Bordeaux (France). The conference was multifaced: a place for memory locally, in France and worldwide; a place to highlight the role of the theory of didactic situations in current research in didactics of mathematics (TDS); and a place to share and reflect on the role of TDS in teaching and teacher training. A planisphere with video contributions of Brousseau’s doctoral students outside of France was developed prior the conference
