Our latest global initiative: The Real Life Themes Project

We were very busy before 2026 organising three successful conferences of the Mathematics Education for the Future Project in King's College, Cambridge University in 2022, The Queen's College, Oxford University in 2023 and the Aemelia Hotel, Bologna in 2024 (see details below).

We now plan to concentrate all our energy offering more widely the 1000+ worksheets in the 50+ especially written and tested Real Life Themes to all our 8000+ email friends and colleagues (BCC of course!) involved world-wide in maths education.

Until now the initial 155 members of our Real Life Themes Group have been actively supporting this Rebirth or Renaissance of the Real Life Themes Project by testing and using the 50+ real life themes with their own students in class or online, and also recommending them to other colleagues who can use them all, free of charge, in their mathematics classes.

Please email us so we can send you these important documents: 

(1) the fully revised and expanded List of all 50+ Theme Titles, grouped under Maths Content, Real Life Aspects, and Page Length.

(2) A PDF of the Short History of Real Life Themes starting in the 1960s and continuing through to the present day to provide the context and rational behind the Real Life Themes Project.

If you wish to actively join us in this new and exciting global initiative please email rogersona8@gmail.com and we will send you further details of how to access the 1000+ worksheets already online and use them with your classes or for your online teaching. 

We look forward to working with you in future within our larger world-wide group!

How did our conferences start?

In the 1970s the annual conferences of the CIEAEM in Europe were distinguished by their friendly and relaxed programme and were always held in beautiful places. They were the model for all our conferences starting in 1999, We always meet in a beautiful place, so that the relaxing atmosphere will stimulate us to work together. King’s College, Cambridge in 2022 was just such a place!

All our conferences were organised by the Mathematics Education for the Future Project – an independent educational philanthropic association coordinated Dr. Alan Rogerson (Poland/UK). Since its inception in 1986 our Project has received support and funding from many universities and especially ICMI, ICME, the British Council and UNESCO.

In 1992 UNESCO published our Project Handbook "Moving Into the 21st Century" as Volume 8 in the UNESCO series Studies In Mathematics Education.

Our conferences are renowned for their friendly and productive working atmosphere and are attended by innovative teachers and mathematics educators from all over the world and all 6 continents – for example 44 countries were represented at our 2009 conference in Dresden, Germany.

Our Conference Proceedings 

Were published after ALL our conferences since 1999 and were later published by Martin Stein, the owner and manager of his publishing company WTM-Verlag.   Martin wrote:

I founded this company in 2006, publishing dissertations, conference reports and monographs of all kind as long as they belong to the field of mathematics education. The different series of books have editors to provide quality control. WTM provide a good service for a small price, so that doctoral students can get their dissertations printed. We also publish Open Access books for the organisers of international conferences and distribute DOI for all books.
