Abstract In this article I single out some events and chief characters of the first hundred years of ICMI that fostered the emergence of mathematics education as an academic discipline. This new discipline did not spring out of the blue: Its roots are in the environment of the ICMI (International Commission on Mathematical Instruction) and of the community of mathematicians. The Commission acted as a catalyst of factors that fostered this new discipline. In particular, the perspective of internationalization, communication and solidarity espoused by the ICMI in its early days was transmitted to the important initiatives of the late 1960s: the journal Educational Studies in Mathematics and the tradition of a quadrennial International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME).

Abstract In this article I single out some events and chief characters of the first hundred years of ICMI that fostered the emergence of mathematics education as an academic discipline. This new discipline did not spring out of the blue: Its roots are in the environment of the ICMI (International Commission on Mathematical Instruction) and of the community of mathematicians. The Commission acted as a catalyst of factors that fostered this new discipline. In particular, the perspective of internationalization, communication and solidarity espoused by the ICMI in its early days was transmitted to the important initiatives of the late 1960s: the journal Educational Studies in Mathematics and the tradition of a quadrennial International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME).
