Report on the Conference of History of Mathematics & Teaching of Mathematics with Special Subject Ethno-mathematics: Research in History of Mathematics & Teaching of Mathematics : University of Miskolc, 18–21 May, 2006, Miskolc, Hungary
437-449Views:35The 4th Conference on History of Mathematics & Teaching of Mathematics with Special Subject Ethno-mathematics was organized at the University of Miskolc (Hungary). The aim of the conference was to present aspects of the History of Mathematics and Ethno-mathematics, including its impact on the Teaching of Mathematics.
Its motto was: Mathematics – a common language for Europe for thousand years.
There were 21 presentations, a poster lecture (J. Kolumbán, University of Cluj, Romania) and an exhibition made by students of Eötvös University, Budapest (R. Tanács, K. Varga).
After a short historical introduction we present 19 abstracts and the poster lecture. -

319-338Views:35The 6th Conference on the History of Mathematics and Teaching of Mathematics was held in Szeged (Hungary). Its motto reads as:
Mathematics – a common language for Europe for thousand years.
The aim of the conference was to present aspects of History of Mathematics, including its impact on Teaching of Mathematics, to provide a forum to meet each other, and to give an opportunity for young researchers to present their results in these fields. University colleagues, students, graduate students and other researchers were invited. The programme of the Conference included talks and posters. The abstracts of the lectures and the posters are presented in this report. There were 24 presentations and poster lectures. -
Teaching of old historical mathematics problems with ICT tools
13-24Views:20The aim of this study is to examine how teachers can use ICT (information and communications technology) tools and the method of blended learning to teach mathematical problem solving. The new Hungarian mathematics curriculum (NAT) emphasizes the role of history of science, therefore we chose a topic from the history of mathematics, from the geometry of triangles: Viviani's Theorem and its problem field. We carried out our teaching experiments at a secondary school with 14-year-old students. Students investigated open geometrical problems with the help of a dynamic geometric software (GeoGebra). Their research work was similar to the historical way.
