The AMESA Congress has a wide range of participants, prominent mathematics teachers, mathematics curriculum advisors, mathematics book publishers, national and international mathematics researchers, and mathematics education leaders. All these mathematics practitioners and experts meet and present their research findings on various aspects of the congress theme which transcends current and relevant aspects of the mathematics policy, mathematics curriculum, the teaching of mathematics, learning of mathematics and assessment practices.

N.B Teachers are profoundly encouraged to submit papers on “How I teach”, based on personal exceptional innovative and creative teaching of a specific topic in either Mathematics or Mathematical Literacy.

• Activity Centre: Hands-on practical mathematics activities for participants.
• Maths Market: Publishers, entrepreneurs, and NGOs are invited to present and promote their commercial products in a special session in the programme called a Maths Market presentation. Research about such products may be presented as an academic paper which will be reviewed, but commercial products should not be directly promoted in academic sessions.
