The SBPMef pretends to the representativity of the whole set of mathematics teachers of the french speaking part of Belgium. This reflection is supported by various activities open to themembers. Each year is organized a three days congress where more than two hundred teachers exchange their experiences. Permanent workgroups have a reflection about the evolution of mathematics teaching and prepare the positions submitted to the executive council. Last but not least the SBPMef plays a role corresponding to its possibilities inside the international community of mathematics teachers.
Bilateral relations exist with foreign associations.
The SBPMef is a founding member of the recently created European Federation of Associations of Mathematics Teachers.
