Resolutions of the Congress

  1. The modernization of the teaching of mathematics should be pursued in all countries, both in content and method. "Content and method are inseparable and should be kept continually under scrutiny".
  2. Mathematics and other disciplines: Collaboration between teachers of mathematics and those of other disciplines should be encouraged.
  3. International cooperation: Each country should be more fully informed of activities in the other countries. "In particular, the 'advanced' countries should continue to collaborate with the developing countries in the search for solutions appropriate to them"
  4. It is necessary for the teacher of mathematics to pursue further professional study during his employment.
  5. "The theory of mathematical education is becoming a science in its own right". The new science should receive places in the Universities or Research Institutes.
Moreover, the first International Congress on Mathematical Education makes the following recommendations to I.C.M.I.:
  1. To study the problems of national information, in particular that of the creation of an information bulletin;
  2. To pay more attention, in the next congress, to pre-school education, elementary education, mathematical education for young people of all ages, and adult education.
