The Local Organizing Committee of the 40th Annual Meeting of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education is pleased to invite you to attend the conference to be held in Szeged, Hungary from August 3 to August 7, 2016.

Mathematics Education: How to solve it? has been chosen as the title of the conference. This title reminds all participants that 70 years ago the Hungarian Pólya György (George Pólya) published his seminal book entitled “How to solve it?”. This book was used by generations of mathematics teachers as their inspiring source of teaching ideas. Besides commemorating Pólya’s oeuvre, the title evokes the everlasting debate on the role of mathematical problem solving in fostering children’s thinking.

Our objective is to make our 2016 meeting scientifically and socially successful. We hope that your stay in Szeged and your visit to Hungary (either for the first or the umpteenth time) will be exciting, informative and inspiring.
We look forward to seeing you in August, 2016.
