For the enculturation of the European platform for mathematics learning, ACTIVEMATH, a number of dimensions had to be adapted culturally: presentation of system and learning material, terminology, selection and sequencing of learning objects, interaction, and learning scenarios. Enculturation is not only important for tutoring systems that teach cultural relationship, geography, culture, and behaving appropriately in other countries, etc. such as the cultural training system Alelo but also for mathematics learning environments. At first, mathematics education may seem to be an unlikely field for enculturation. However, • mathematics education often follows the terminology (notions) of a particular book dominant in the region’s education or of a field that applies mathematics, e.g., electrical engineering • in the region’s or field’s mathematics education more often than not specific
