Dear Colleagues,

I apologise for sending one more message about CERME 8, WG9 Language and Mathematics. In the Call for papers I sent earlier one bullet point was missing in the list of topics. The list of topics that are considered to be of particular interest should also include
The teaching and learning of mathematics in multilingual settings

Kind regards,
Frode R?nning

ART AND MATHEMATICS IN PRE-COLUMBIAN MESOAMERICA

An LKL Maths-Art Seminar
by Francisco Gonz?lez Redondo 
Thursday 14th June 2012, 6.00 - 7.30pm 

The Maya constituted the most sophisticated civilisation of Mesoamerica
prior to the arrival of the Spanish Conquistadores. They acknowledged
several complex systems of counting and recording the passing of time,
(all of them related to a base-twenty system which included the use of a
?zero?), as well as significant astronomical discoveries. Assumed to be
a distant outgrowth from seminal Olmec urban culture, the Maya planned
their cities, especially their ceremonial centres, according to cardinal
points and equinox-solstice occurrences, while designing their temples
subject to calendaric-mathematical patterns. They also developed a
visually rich glyphic writing carved on stelae and lintels, and painted
on ceramics, frescoes, and remarkable codices. Francisco will show how
all these issues ultimately merge in a unified conception of Astronomy,
Religion, Mathematics and Art that allows understanding for what is
behind the much-discussed date 21st December 2012, the day the [Maya]
World would supposedly come at an end. 

FRANCISCO A. GONZ?LEZ REDONDO is qualified in mathematics, philosophy of
science (PhD 1992), and history of mathematics, science and technology
(PhD 2000). He has published more than 100 articles and books in the
historical field. Since 1993 he is Associate Professor in the Faculty of
Education at Madrid's Complutense University. He is currently on a
half-Sabbatical in the UK, where he has delivered many lectures,
including at the Spanish Institute ?Ca?ada Blanch?, London Region
Balloon Club, Imperial College, St John?s College Cambridge, and the
Spanish Embassy. 

Next seminars: Re-start in September, dates TBA

*SEMINAR AT GOLDSMITHS: Knotting in common - a discussion about
knowledge making, collective practice and working with fibres in the age
of the ?new aesthetic?. Friday 15th June, 11am - 1pm, free but
registration required. http://www.gold.ac.uk/sociology/calendar/?id=5442

 Argumentation and Proof
Message-ID: <20120608193401.661934rov0lf4uqs@webmail08.univ-montp2.fr>

Dear colleagues,

It is my pleasure to send you the call for papers and posters for the  
CERME8-WG1 "Argumentation and proof".

For more information on the congress, you are invited to visit the  
CERME8 website

http://www.cerme8.metu.edu.tr

Best regards

Viviane Durand-Guerrier
Chair of the CERME8-WG1

CERME 8: Working Group 1
Argumentation and proof

Leaders
Viviane Durand-Guerrier (France) vdurand at math.univ-montp2.fr
Samuele Antonini (Italy) ? Kirsten Pfeiffer (Ireland) ? Gabriel  
Stylianides (United Kingdom)
Scope and Focus of WG1
Papers presented in the last ERME Conferences illustrate the great  
variety of approaches to research in this field, offering a wide  
spectrum of perspectives, intertwining educational issues with  
explicit references to mathematical, logical, historical,  
philosophical, epistemological, psychological, curricular,  
anthropological or sociological issues. The richness of diversity gave  
the participants the opportunity of a fruitful discussion, stimulating  
not only the interest of comparison but also the curiosity of  
undertaking a possible integration and the need of enhancing the  
development of international collaborations.
Call for papers and poster proposals
The organisers for Working Group 1 invite research-based papers on  
argumentation and proof, teaching and learning issues, classroom  
situations, clinical studies, dissemination and vulgarisation. We will  
be particularly interested in theoretical, empirical or developmental  
papers that address one or more of the following themes (though any  
papers of relevance to the overall focus of the group will also be  
considered):
1.        The importance of experience, explanation, justification,  
argumentation and proof and their relationships in mathematics and in  
mathematics education.
2.        The role of logic and language in teaching, learning and  
analysing proof and proving process.
3.        The designing activity fostering argumentation and proof  
skills along the curriculum from kinder garden to university, and in  
teacher training.
4.        The use, evolution, elaboration or integration of  
theoretical frames relevant for research argumentation and proof in an  
educational perspective.
These issues will be considered from the following points of view:
(a) Historical, philosophical, and epistemological, related to the  
nature of argumentation and proof, their functions in mathematics in  
an historical perspective, including contemporaneous mathematics;
(b) Cognitive, concerning the processes related to argumentation and  
proof: cognitive process involved in production of conjectures,  
interpretation, evaluation and construction of proofs, elaboration of  
axiomatic; the effect on teaching and learning proof on students'  
performance in mathematics etc.;
(c) Social-cultural aspects for student construction of proofs;
(d) Educational, based on the analysis of students' thinking in  
approaching proof and proving, and implications for the design of  
curricula.
Papers and poster proposals should use the CERME word template, and  
conform to the guidelines at http://www.cerme8.metu.edu.tr. To submit  
it, you must email your paper as a WORD document to Viviane  
Durand-Guerrier at vdurand at math.univ-montp2.fr, AND at the same time  
to the conference secretariat at accerme8 at metu.edu.tr. If possible  
please also send a pdf version in addition to the WORD document.
Reviews and Decisions
Each paper will be peer-reviewed by three persons from among those who  
submit papers to this Working Group. Please expect to be asked to  
review up to three papers yourself between 15th September and 22nd  
October 2012.  It may be necessary for you to revise your paper before  
final acceptance. Please reserve some time to do this in the second  
half of November. The group leaders will decide about the acceptance  
of posters.
Important dates
15th September 2012:        Deadline for submission of papers.
1st October 2012:        Deadline for submission of poster proposals
22nd October 2012:        Deadline for reviewers to submit their reviews.
1st December 2012:        Deadline for revisions to papers.

Subject: [Maths-Education] Good home sought for MA and ATM Journals

With the prospect of an significant reduction in my shelf space later this
year, I reluctantly offer the following near-intact runs of MA and ATM
journals.

They are free to anyone able to collect them from Cambridge before
September: a donation to a charity of your choice would be appreciated.

    Mathematics Teaching: 1969-2011

    Mathematics in School: 1979-2011

    Micromath: 1985-2005

    Mathematical Gazette: 1985-2011

    Equals: 1998-2011


I would much prefer to give whole runs (e.g. all the MT issues) to one
person or institution.

Best wishes,
Tim Rowland

In spite of Peter's request I want to make one response to everybody.

ATM has a good website. I am disappointed, on ATM behalf, that ATM institutional membership is so cheap.  On the other hand when tutoring  OU students I am delighted that they have access, via the OU and its institutional membership, to many years of Mathematics Teaching and also the current issue.
MA does not have the same facility and this is a pity as we cannot refer OU MAST students to any of their past journals.  So those of you in institutions - go for the MA stuff and encourage your Institution to become an institutional member of ATM - and then get your students to write for Mathematics Teaching.

Hi all,
Just for information:
>From the MA Mathematics in School is on line but through JSTOR.  I imagine 
all universities have membership with JSTOR so can easily access them. 
However, and importantly, Personal MA members can also access them if they 
pay an additional ?10 on their annual subscription.  This would be the same 
for a student too. So please refer your MasT students to MiS and to the MA 
Primary maths journal!
Lesley Jones

Subject: [Maths-Education] CERME 8: WG3: Algebraic Thinking: Call for papers
In-Reply-To: <CBEEDBCE.14202%frode.ronning@hist.no>
Message-ID: <CC08ADCD.33BCA%jeremy.hodgen@kcl.ac.uk>

If you are interested in algebraic thinking, you may want to submit a paper to Working Group 3 (WG3) on Algebraic Thinking at The Eighth Congress of the European Society for Research in Mathematics Education (CERME8), which will take place in Antalya,(Turkey), from 6th to 10th February, 2013.

CERME-8: The 8th Congress of the European Society for Research in Mathematics Education
Antalya, Turkey, February, 6th to 10th, 2013 (http://www.cerme8.metu.edu.tr).
CERME-8, Working Group 3  -- ALGEBRAIC THINKING

Group Leader
Jeremy Hodgen (UK)

Co-leaders
Mar?a C. Ca?adas (Spain)
Therese Dooley (Ireland)
Reinhard Oldenburg (Germany)

Scope and Focus of WG3
Algebraic Thinking is a well-established working Group at CERME. WG3 will build on the work at previous conferences to provide a forum for international discussion and collaboration. We will consider papers that question or provide insights on existing assumptions on any aspect of algebraic thinking, teaching and learning. This working group welcomes papers from a variety of different theoretical approaches and methodological frameworks. We expect that papers will address issues at all levels from early algebra through to algebra at university and beyond.

Call for papers and poster proposals
In WG3 we welcome theoretical, methodological, philosophical, empirical or developmental papers (10 pages maximum) and poster proposals (2 pages) on issues related to algebraic thinking. The scope of the working group is broad and topics may include the following, though any paper/poster of relevance to the overall focus of the group will also be welcomed:

 *   Purposes for the teaching and learning of algebra; History, philosophy, epistemology and/or logics; International comparisons; Beliefs and/or attitudes.
 *   Modelling and/or applications of algebraic thinking; Problem-solving; Generalization; Transition to symbolization; Proof and argumentation.
 *   Language, discourse, semiotics and/or the role of gesture; Learning processes; Concepts, difficulties and/or errors.
 *   Representations; Use of Computer Algebra Systems and/or other technologies or tools; Task design.
 *   Curriculum, assessment and/or relationship of algebra to other mathematical topics; Didactics and the teaching of algebra; The nature and/or importance of ?early algebra?; Teacher education.

The focus of the research may vary from micro-level studies individual students and classrooms, teachers and student teachers to macro-level studies of educational systems. We particularly welcome papers that develop themes explored in the Algebraic Thinking Working Group at previous CERME conferences.

We welcome both established researchers and newcomers. We expect that all papers will report systematic studies of algebraic thinking and will refer to the literature in the field.

Papers and poster proposals should use the CERME8 template, and conform to the guidelines at http://www.cerme8.metu.edu.tr/author_guidelines.html.
To submit your paper or poster, you must email it as a WORD document to Jeremy Hodgen at jeremy.hodgen (at) kcl.ac.uk AND to the conference secretariat at accerme8 at metu.edu.tr by 15th September 2012. Please send a PDF version IN ADDITION to the WORD document.

Reviews and decisions
Each paper will be peer-reviewed by three people from among thosewho submit papers to this working group. Please expect to be asked to review up to three papers yourself between 15th September and 22nd October 2012. It may be necessary for you to revise your paper before finalacceptance. Please reserve some time to do this in the second half of November.The group leaders will decide about the acceptance of posters.
