[Maths-Education] Pre-PME meeting

[Richard Barwell]

The following meeting at PME this year may be of interest if you will be in
Mexico...sorry if you are not...I sent it to the PME list but was told they
don't advertise meetings...


***********************************************************
Multilingual Mathematics Group: Pre-PME meeting
...............................................

The MMG will meet on 16-17 July 2008, the 24 hours prior to PME, in Morelia,
Mexico. The MMG is a discussion forum - papers are circulated in advance so
that time can be devoted to discussion rather than presentation.
Contributions will include the following:


1. Bilingual Students Using Two Languages During Peer Mathematics
Discussions: ¿Qué Significa?
Estudiantes bilingües usando dos idiomas en sus discusiones mathemáticas:
What does it mean?

William Zahner and Judit Moschkovich (UC Santa Cruz)


2. Somali Algebra Video Project: Challenges and Potentials.

Sue Staats (University of Minnesota)


3. The socialisation of second language learners of mathematics: an
ethnographic approach.

Richard Barwell (University of Ottawa)


If you are interested in participating or offering a short paper for
discussion, please contact Richard Barwell (richard.barwell at uottawa.ca) to
ensure that receive details of the meeting and advanced copies of the
papers. No need to reconfirm if you have already let me know.
