Presentation

Five years after the European Congress about the use of complex calculators (Montpellier, 1998), three years after the CAS meeting of Rennes (2000), ITEM aimed to confront experience and research about the uses of technology to teach and learn Mathematics in Europe and in the world. The contribution of non-French speakers and the exchange of ideas and experience between French speaking and non-French speaking participants have been encouraged by way of simultaneous translation.

The program was made of 4 plenary conferences, a panel, 59 contributed communications and 30 workshops. The number and quality of these contributions are an evidence of a mature and relevant body of research and experiments. These proceedings reflect this maturity and relevance.

The most addressed issues were:

  • role of computer applications (spreadsheet, computer algebra, dynamic geometry) of calculators in the learning of usual mathematical domains (arithmetic, algebra, calculus and geometry),
  • potential contribution of computer science and applications in new domains like statistics, mathematics of discrete quantities, modelling,
  • basic algorithmic knowledge as a part the teaching and learning of mathematics,
  • collaborative work and distant training by way of the Internet: students solving problem collaboratively, teachers pooling their teaching materials, research on the organisation of teaching resources favouring a mutual use,
  • skills, knowledge and proficiencies that a teacher needs in these new settings.
