Functioning of the Symposium

ETM meetings are international symposia organized in the form of thematic working groups based on contributions from participants. The symposium format encourages exchanges between participants and helps build a community of researchers with common interests.

The number of participants per theme is limited to facilitate interaction and discussion. Each theme of the symposium will be introduced by a plenary presentation, recalling in particular the achievements of previous symposia.

The four thematic working groups are set out below. We propose to discuss and develop the theoretical perspectives in didactics on mathematical work as well as aspects relating to signs, tools, discourse, control and necessity in mathematical work, thus highlighting the key elements that influence mathematical practice, in particular AI and the digital. In the context of learning, we will look at the genesis and development of mathematical work, focusing on the central role of teachers, trainers, collectives and interactions in this process. We will analyze how projects, situations and tasks contribute to the construction and development of mathematical work, highlighting their importance in the evolution of this fundamental discipline.

The four topics of the symposium focus on certain issues which are developed below, but it is clear that these issues are not isolated. Inter-theme meetings will be organised on issues that concern more than one theme, with a grouping of contributions providing food for thought for all.

The symposium will last 5 days and, like its predecessors, will be trilingual (English, Spanish and French). Contributions (oral and poster presentations) may be made in any of these three languages; oral presentations will be accompanied by an electronic slide show in one of the other two languages of the symposium.

Call for Contributions

Proposals for oral or poster contributions will be accepted by the Scientific Committee on the basis of a short abstract including bibliographical references (three pages) which explicitly mention at least one of the symposium topics. The paper must be based on research and fit in with at least one of the symposium's scientific themes. The submission of this abstract is to be done through the online electronic form, accessible at the following link: https://forms.gle/Qsi5t2CNAH65KSe97.

Each accepted proposal must then be completed, in CERME style (14 pt), in the form of an article and submitted under one of the symposium topics. Papers should not exceed 12 pages for an oral contribution and 3 pages for a poster. All selected contributions will be pre-published online and made available during the Symposium. They will be revised after the symposium for publication in the proceedings, available at https://etm7.sciencesconf.org/resource/page/id/8.

Important dates

Submission of a 3-page abstract by ~~March 1~~ March 18, 2024 using the electronic abstract form (above)
Scientific Committee's comments sent before ~~1 April~~ 20 April 2024
Submission of the contribution before 30 June 2024 on the symposium website
Registration for the symposium: June-July 2024
The Symposium will take place from 21 to 25 October 2024
Return of papers for publication in the proceedings on 31 January 2025
