What is the GDM?
The GDM is a scientific organization that aims at encouraging the didactics of
mathematics, especially in the German-speaking countries. It cooperates with
the respective organizations in other countries.
What is mathematical didactics?
Mathematical didactics focuses on the teaching and learning of mathematics within all age groups.
It seeks to answer questions such as the following:
- What could, or should, students learn in mathematics education?
- How could, or should, mathematical contents be taught, how should mathematical ability be developed?
- What would enable students to derive pleasure from mathematical activity?
Mathematical didactics tries to find answers to such questions by
- critical investigation with regards to justifying the contents and specific teaching aims
within the framework of the general goals of mathematical education,
- conducting research on learning conditions and teaching and learning processes related to the
development of suitable empirical methods and theoretical concepts,
- investigation and preparation of mathematical content, with the aim of making it accessible
to specific learning groups.
