What is the state of the teaching of mathematics nowadays? What obstacles do teachers and students have to face? What kind of mathematics should be taught and how should it be taught? How could teachers promote and articulate both open investigative activities and structured lessons in classrooms? What role should technology play? These multiple questions that currently concern teachers, students, teaching institutions and society at large cannot be tackled by adopting one perspective alone. Cross-fertilizing opinions is indeed essential. It requires gathering points of view that come from different fields, different countries, and involve teachers, teacher trainers, mathematicians, mathematics educators, and many other professional networks.

The EducMath site aims to fulfill the need for a collaborative space where questions like the ones mentioned above could be discussed among a wide range of partners, a scientific board, and more generaly, all the users.

EducMath is accessible to all for reading. To be able to take part in forums, upload documents or receive the newsletters EducMath, it is necessary to subscribe: the success of the project will depend on establishing an authentic community of users and active contributors.
