European Didactic Traditions in Mathematics: Aspects and Examples from Four Selected Cases

Abstract

In this paper, we report on the presentations and activities from the strand on " European Didactic Traditions " during the Thematic Afternoon at ICME-13. The focal point of the first hour of this afternoon were four key features that were identified as common in all European traditions and the second and third hours were devoted to the presentation of concrete examples from four specific traditions, organised in four parallel sessions.
