From lab11 at cam.ac.uk Thu Oct 1 09:19:06 2015 From: lab11 at cam.ac.uk (Toni Beardon) Date: 01 Oct 2015 09:19:06 +0100 Subject: [Maths-Education] Unique Educational Opportunity - Sign Up and Spread the Word Message-ID: Over 24 thousand learners in 12 countries are registered for this cross curricular 100 minute lesson on the Maths and Science of DNA for learners of ages 7 to 15 on Tuesday 3 November 2015. To be part of this exciting attempt to set a Guinness World Record for the World's Largest Maths and Science Lesson register now at the Bubbly Maths website www.bubblymaths.co.uk/dnalesson Free teaching resources, worksheets and teachers notes can be downloaded from www.bubblymaths.co.uk/dna-lesson-resources The objectives are to create a memorable event where every learner and facilitator enjoys the process of learning mathematics through science and eyes and minds are opened to the relevance of maths and science to all our lives. The lesson will be in two parts, at least one of which must take place on the BIG day Tuesday 3 November 2015. The lesson starts with a short video explaining DNA and how important it is to everyone because DNA determines how each living thing develops, grows, survives, and reproduces as well as what an organism looks like and what diseases it may be susceptible to. Other videos and resources show several alternative ways to make models of the DNA double helix and each learner will make their own model. For the second part of the lesson teachers can choose from a wide range of activities for which videos, worksheets, resources and teachers notes are provided. For a class to qualify as participants and get a certificate, after the big lesson teachers must submit one dated photo of their class with the models they have made as proof of their involvement. The photo and exact numbers of learners and teachers involved, together with the address of the school, must be submitted to www.bubblymaths.co.uk/dnalesson by Thursday 5 November at the latest. Schools will get a free certificate from AIMSSEC, Bubbly Maths & HeyMath and a template to print certificates for each learner who took part. We hope to achieve a Guinness World Record and feature in the Guinness World Record Book.

May I draw your attention to Topic Group 15? We would welcome submissions on the teaching and learning of statistics. See below for more details. Best wishes, Dave ICME13, Topic Study Group 15 - Teaching and Learning of Statistics Call for papers and posters Being able to provide sound evidence-based arguments and critically evaluate data-based claims are important skills that all citizens should have. It is not surprising therefore that the study of statistics at all educational levels is gaining more students and drawing more attention than it has in the past. The study of statistics provides students with tools, skills, ideas and dispositions to use in order to react intelligently to information in the world around them. Reflecting this need to improve students? ability to think statistically, statistical literacy and reasoning are becoming part of the mainstream school and university curriculum in many countries. As a consequence, statistics education is a growing and is an exciting field of research and development. Statistics at school level is usually taught in the mathematics classroom in connection with learning probability. We expect to discuss academic work on major issues in statistics education research, such as: (a) theoretical issues in learning and teaching statistics; (b) learning and teaching statistics in school and at the tertiary level; (c) reinforcing the connection between statistics and probability, data and chance (especially considering the current curriculum situation in several countries); (d) the emergence and development of students? statistical reasoning, thinking, and literacy, e.g., developing students? reasoning about variability, or an aggregate view of data; (e) teachers? statistical knowledge and learning, and professional development of teachers; (f) innovative learning technology in statistics education; and g) research priorities in statistics education. The discussion will include time to reflect on the status of research in statistics education related to the various themes and will highlight areas of high priority for the statistics education research community. Topic Study Group 15 will include probabilistic aspects in learning statistics, whereas research with a specific focus on learning probability will be discussed in TSG 14. The group sessions at the conference will include invited and contributed papers, as well as posters. All submissions will be peer-reviewed. The submission process, deadlines and all the information about the conference is included in the Second Announcement which is available at: http://icme13.org/announcements/second. What is a TSG? A Topic Study Group is as mini-conference within ICME-13 that displays the progress of the discussion in the intervening years since ICME-12. Topic Study Groups therefore promote the discussion of a variety of perspectives on the theme of the Group. The TSG consists of high-standard discussions enabling the newcomer to get a broad overview on the state-of-the-art and allowing the experts to lead discussions at a high level. The team will provide the audience of their TSG not with a nationally framed insight into the strands of the discussion of the theme, but will give an overall overview on the international discussion as broadly as possible and allowing for insight into less well-known strands of the discussion. In ICME-13, the TSG is the major arena for participation. Participants are expected to associate themselves with one TSG and to stay in that group for all sessions. At ICME-13, the TSGs will have 360 minutes as four 90 minutes timeslots. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SUBMISSION OF PAPERS IS NOW OPEN.

The Executive will seek to ensure that the research interests of the various members of the Board cover the main areas and methods of enquiry current in the field and this will influence the selection process. The Executive will be working in consultation with and guided by the Editors of the journal throughout. Research in Mathematics Education is the official journal of BSRLM. It is an international English language journal which publishes original refereed articles on all aspects of mathematics education. Submissions are welcome from both non-members and members of the organisation. The journal expects papers to frame the central issues in terms which are applicable across educational systems and informed by wider thinking in the field. There are three issues per year, one of which is a Special Issue. The journal currently has three sections, covering research papers, book reviews, and current reports. The research papers section contains reports of studies involving empirical investigation and theoretical argumentation from which conclusions and implications can be drawn for future research and practice. Such reports are expected to show how the study builds on critical review of relevant literature and to provide an account of the methods and procedures used. Reports on thoughtful replications or variations of key earlier studies are welcome, as are reviews of some well-defined aspect of mathematics education. The journal welcomes high-quality research in any methodological tradition and is open to innovative and unusual approaches. Applicants should set out their expertise and experience in relation to the role. The Executive will be looking for good experience of peer reviewing in the field of mathematics education for research journals of international standing and a distinguished record of publication in the field. Applicants should therefore submit: * a concise statement of their main areas of research and methods of enquiry within the field; * a summary of their experience of peer reviewing in the field for research journals of international standing; * a brief cv of approximately two pages indicating their record of publication in the field; * confirmation that they are prepared to undertake in a timely fashion up to 6 reviews of research papers each year and to contribute to the general promotion and development of the journal. Applications should be sent to Professor Hilary Povey, Chair, BSRLM (h.povey at shu.ac.uk) for consideration by the Executive and the Editors of the journal. The deadline for applications is 30th November 2015. Appointments will be made at the meeting of the Executive in January 2016. The Executive reserves the right to approach potential members of the Editorial Board by invitation after the closing date for proposals. There will be further annual open calls for proposals for the Editorial Board.
