Kaye Stacey' Helen Chick' and Margaret Kendal The University of
Melbourne' Australia Abstract: This section reports on the
organisation' procedures' and publications of the ICMI Study' The
Future of the Teaching and Learning of Algebra. Key words: Study
Conference' organisation' procedures' publications The
International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) has'
since the 1980s' conducted a series of studies into topics of
particular significance to the theory and practice of contemporary
mathematics education. Each ICMI Study involves an international
seminar' the "Study Conference"' and culminates in a published
volume intended to promote and assist discussion and action at the
international' national' regional' and institutional levels. The
ICMI Study running from 2000 to 2004 was on The Future of the
Teaching and Learning of Algebra' and its Study Conference was held
at The University of Melbourne' Australia fromDecember to 2001. It
was the first study held in the Southern Hemisphere. There are
several reasons why the future of the teaching and learning of
algebra was a timely focus at the beginning of the twenty first
century. The strong research base developed over recent decades
enabled us to take stock of what has been achieved and also to look
forward to what should be done and what might be achieved in the
future. In addition' trends evident over recent years have
intensified. Those particularly affecting school mathematics are
the "massification" of education-continuing in some countries
whilst beginning in others-and the advance of technology.
