Working on this enterprise offered an occasion for reflecting on some aspects of ICMI history, in particular, on how the key ideas (internationalization, communication, solidarity) that inspired its founding were realized, as well as on contributions by paramount ICMI members to the evolution of both the Commission’s policies and its methodological approaches to problems.

Abstract
On the occasion of the ICMI centenary the authors of the present paper have built the website “The first century of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (1908-2008). History of ICMI”, which contains information and documents about people, events, and bodies intervening in the first century of this Commission. Working on this enterprise offered an occasion for reflecting on some aspects of ICMI history, in particular, on how the key ideas (internationalization, communication, solidarity) that inspired its founding were realized, as well as on contributions by paramount ICMI members to the evolution of both the Commission’s policies and its methodological approaches to problems.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
