Freudenthal Institute
The Freudenthal Institute conducts research into aspects of math education and how mathematics is taught.  Its aims are to understand and improve the teaching of arithmetic and mathematics at all levels, but particularly in kindergarten, primary, secondary, and vocational education.  The institute was part of Utrecht University in the Netherlands and it was founded in 1971 by the mathematician, Professor Hans Freudenthal (1905-1990). In January 2006, FiUSA relocated to the School of Education at the University of Colorado at Boulder. The activities of FiUSA focus on implementing Realistic Mathematics Education, a dynamic theory of learning and teaching mathematics.
