Since its inception in 1998, 798 articles have been published in 21 volumes and 185 issues of HPM Tongxun (HPM Newsletter). These articles have documented the process of development and evolution of HPM practice in Taiwan as well as changes in Taiwan’s mathematics education over the past 20 years. This article explores the evolution of HPM practice in relation to changes in mathematics education in Taiwan by discussing mathematics education research projects, seminar participation, syllabus transformation, and the connection between teaching activities and literacy for mathematics culture. By analyzing the articles of HPM Newsletters, this study uses the teaching of logarithms as an example to explain the indicators of HPM practice, which integrates history into mathematics teaching, in Taiwan. Finally, the latest changes in approaches to HPM practice in Taiwan have incorporated mathematics and narrative characteristics. Such an approach to HPM practice is expected to provide new inspirations to curriculum designs for high school mathematics teachers in terms of the mathematical literacy emphasized by the new curriculum implemented in 2019.
