1. Aim and focus ▲top
The HPM 2012 is the eighth 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 those together who are interested in 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 ▲top
The HPM 2012 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 seven themes:
  1. Theoretical and/or conceptual frameworks for integrating history in mathematics education;
  2. History and epistemology implemented in mathematics education: classroom experiments & teaching materials;
  3. Original sources in the classroom, and their educational effects;
  4. Mathematics and its relation to science, technology and the arts: historical issues and educational implications;
  5. Cultures and mathematics;
  6. Topics in the history of mathematics education;
  7. Mathematics from Eastern Asia.
3. Activities during HPM 2012 ▲top
During HPM 2012 there will be
  • one-hour plenary lectures on each of the seven main themes
  • two one-hour panel discussions
  • parallel sessions of 25-minute oral presentations, followed by 5-minute discussions
  • poster exhibitions with discussion sessions
  • exhibitions of books and other didactical material
A limited number of 1-hour workshops may be included in the program upon special request to be further considered by the Organizers. In such cases, participants are actively participating in studying a specific subject and having a follow-up discussion. The role of the workshop organizer is to prepare, present and distribute the historical, or didactical material, which motivates and orients the exchange of ideas and the discussion among the participants. Participants read and work on the basis of this material (e.g. original historical texts, didactical material, students’ worksheets etc).

5. Time and place ▲top
HPM 2012 will be held from Monday 16 July to Friday 20 July 2012 in Daejeon, Korea.
Sessions will be held on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday with a cultural tour on Wednesday.
ICME-12 will be held from Monday 9 July to Sunday 15 July 2012 in Seoul, Korea. Its scientific program includes oral presentations and activities on the history and pedagogy on mathematics and on the history of mathematical teaching. It is planned that these activities will take place in the end of this meeting and that a special price for inscriptions will be granted to those who will participate to both ICME-12 and HPM 2012.
6. Official Languages ▲top
The official languages are English and Korean.
More specifically:
-All plenary talks and panel discussions will be in English with simultaneous translation if possible.
-Oral presentations will be given in either English, or Korean. For presentations in Korean a second set of transparencies should be, utilizing either two projectors and screens, or two power point computers.
