REGIONAL COLLABORATION IN MATHEMATICS EDUCATION

An ICMI Regional Conference to be held at

MONASH UNIVERSITY, MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, APRIL 19-23, 1995

The first ICMI (International Commission on Mathematics Instruction)
Regional Conference to be held in Australia will bring together people from
three rather different communities:  Mathematics and Mathematics Education,
governmental and non-governmental organisations, and the computing and
telecommunications industry.  It will also experiment with the use of
telecommunications in linking several off-shore conference sites with the
main site at Monash.

The main aim of the conference is to address the issues, problems and
mechanisms concerning regional collaboration.  The academic content of the
conference will be organised around three broad themes;  mathematics and
the environment, teachers and the system, learners and society, and papers
are invited which address these themes in the context of regional
development.

As well as the usual academic conference activities, several specific
events are planned including a regional mathematics pre-conference
competition, a forum on governmental strategies on regional educational
policies, and six mathematics master classes.

Key note speakers and master class speakers include:  Professor Benvenido
Nebres (Phillippines), Professor Cheryl Praeger (Australia), Professor Ken
Clements (Australia), Professor Jeremy Kilpatrick (U.S.A.), Professor
Christine Keitel (Germany), Professor Collette Laborde (France).

The conference chair is Professor Alan J. Bishop, Faculty of Education,
Monash University, and further information can be obtained from
