[Maths-Education] Cambridge Mathematics Education Colloquium

[Lim Chap Sam]

Dear Tim

What a coincidence! I have just passed some survey questionnaires to my
final year students asking them about the same questions as Candia's talk.
We are in the process of rearranging the mathematics courses to be taken by
the coming new math education undergraduates. We are having the same doubt
that is whether our university math  course have provided a good
preparation for our prospective math teachers?

I would like very much to have a copy of the report. I am sure it will
serve as  a good reference for my study.  I hope either you or Candia can
send me one, if possible? 

Perhaps when I have mine ready, I will send you one too. What do you think?


Thanks and look forward to your reply.
