CERME9 was the fourth time of the TWG on “History in Mathematics Education”. For CERME9 the group had fourteen papers and two posters, and around twenty participants in the sessions. TWG12 covers a range of topics related to history in mathematics education, but on an overall scale, submissions to the group may be distinguished by either concerning “History in Mathematics Education” (HiMEd) or “History of Mathematics Education” (HoMEd). This time round, the group had five papers addressing topics of HoMEd, while the remaining nine papers and two posters were concerned with issues of HiMEd at various educational levels, which also included teacher education

This introduction pleads for resuming research on the history of numbers and computation: topics in the history of mathematics that, to many, seem exhausted. One of the main reasons for revisiting these topics is the problematic division of the historiography of number into two branches: on the one hand, the history of the concept of number and, on the other, the history of numerical signs designed to express integers and the history of computations that relied on these inscriptions. Upon closer examination, this split — which has hitherto been unquestioned in the literature — looks untenable, and the book offers evidence showing the actual intertwinement between the history of the concept of number and that of numeration systems and computations. The book further aims at developing a contextualized approach to systems of numeration and computation, which the introduction discusses. To this end, the introduction argues why, in most social contexts of the ancient world, numbers cannot be discussed independ
