Mathematics didactics is a science that seeks to answer the fundamental questions: why to teach, i.e. what should be the aims and principles of today's mathematics education; what to teach, i.e. what should be the content of mathematics education and the structure of its teaching; how to teach, i.e. which methods, tools, forms, technologies contribute to ensuring the quality of teaching and learning that meets the needs of society and the individual; and the competencies and preparation of the mathematics teacher. These seminars will seek to answer some of the questions addressed by mathematics didactics in mathematics education.
