The 4th Annual Institute of Mathematics Pedagogy will take place at the
=20

Department of Educational Studies, University of Oxford,=20

from=20

Thursday July 22nd=20

to=20

Sunday July 25th

2004 =20

 The Institute will be led by John Mason and Anne Watson and will =
consist of workshops, seminars, readings, reflections and discussions =
about teaching and learning mathematics.   There will be a full =
programme from lunchtime on the 22nd until lunchtime on the 25th =
including evening activities.

 There will be no papers or formal presentations; the group will work =
intensively and creatively with issues and ideas to develop thinking and =
practice.  New participants are very welcome.

 This year's theme will be:

 Freedom and Constraint

We see these as coexisting characteristics of mathematical concepts. How =
do they interplay to enable us to learn mathematics? How can tasks and =
exercises be constructed to make the most of these interactions?

We shall try to keep the price to =A3250 and this includes accommodation =
at Wadham College, all meals and other refreshments, materials and so =
on. There is a reduction for non-residents of course, for whom the cost =
will be about =A3100. Places are strictly limited in order to allow =
full participation for all, but we still have some available. We shall =
need a =A350 deposit and Cheques should be made out to: Institute of =
Maths Pedagogy and sent to: Tracy Johns, Centre for Mathematics =
Education, Open University, Walton Hall, Milton Keynes, MK7 6AA. =
