From B.Jaworski at lboro.ac.uk Tue May 4 16:46:02 2021 From: B.Jaworski at lboro.ac.uk (Barbara Jaworski) Date: Tue, 4 May 2021 15:46:02 +0000 Subject: [Maths-Education] =?windows-1252?q?PLATINUM_Webinar_2_--_=93Bringing_Inquiry_Into_?= =?windows-1252?q?One=92s_Mathematics_Classroom=94?= Message-ID: Dear Colleagues You may recall that we, the PLATINUM team, held our first Webinar in April recently. There, we introduced our Erasmus+ project PLATINUM ? Partnership for Learning and Teaching IN University Mathematics. That webinar is still available on the PLATINUM website, platinum.uia.no if you are interested. This message is to let you know that our second webinar will follow on Friday this week (7th May). You can find details and a registration link below. The topic is ?Bringing Inquiry Into One?s Mathematics Classroom? We shall be focusing on specifically ?Inquiry-based Tasks and Teaching Units in University Mathematics? We have invited Professor John Mason to be our guest presenter. John will demonstrate and discuss mathematical animations to engage participants and to suggest activities in which we might engage our students, with attention to the associated pedagogy. You can access the detailed programme of the webinar by registering using the link below. It is free. All very good wishes Barbara Subject: Registration open: May 7 2021, 15.00-18.00: ?Bringing Inquiry Into One?s Mathematics Classroom? Dear colleagues, It is our pleasure to inform you that the registration is open now for the international online event: ?Bringing Inquiry Into One?s Mathematics Classroom? May 7 from 15.00-18.00. Please find the programme and the registration link at: https://platinum.uia.no/platinum-workshop-bringing-inquiry-into-ones-mathematics-classroom/ Audience: university mathematics teaching, but the workshop is open to all participants interested in teaching and learning mathematics through inquiry and fostering own mathematical thinking. Invited speaker: Professor John Mason (Open University, UK) Participants will be invited to engage in a sequence of tasks designed to stimulate discussion about getting students to explore mathematical ideas. The first step is to be mathematical both with and in front of learners, immersing them in a conjecturing atmosphere and in a culture of inquiry, which will be exemplified in the session. A range of pedagogic actions will be used in order to illustrate how, over time, learners can be encouraged to take responsibility for themselves, so as both to appreciate and comprehend the mathematical ideas, theorems, and techniques that make up their course. This event is organized by the Erasmus+ PLATINUM (Partnership for Learning and Teaching in University Mathematics) project.https://platinum.uia.no/ Welcome to forward this information to the people who might be interested in this event!

In order to avoid large numbers of emails, if any colleague wishes to send a message of condolence or remembrances of Ubi to be circulated please send it to me at peter.gates at nottingham.ac.uk and I will collate our messages and post them to this list as well as send them on to Ubi?s family. It is with great regret that we announce to all of you the passing of Professor Ubiratan D'Ambrosio, our friend Ubi, on the morning of the 12th of May, 2021. Ubi has suffered serious health problems for some time now, and his health has been declining in recent months. Ubi died in his beloved S?o Paulo, Brazil. This is a moment of profound sadness for all of those who knew Ubi as a comrade and from afar in the communities of people from all classes and lifestyles his life and works touched. His legacy will live on, a legacy of championing peace in all its many senses and dimensions: inner peace, peace with our friends and neighbors, peace with nature, and world peace. That is, he was a champion of peace in all the contexts our lives and values are embedded in naturally. This was Ubi?s quest. What he achieved in this quest he owes to a profound capacity for recognizing where the ties that bind us have become knotted, a knowledge of how to untie those knots, and how to reconstruct them in ways that created a new life praxis dedicated to social justice, equity, and affectionateness. Collective reconstruction and the courage to act were his goals as a mathematics educator and pioneer in ethnomathematics. But he made mathematics education a completely human and social endeavor. In Brazil, Ubi was a great pillar for the constitution of a community of mathematics educators, encouraging and influencing new researchers with his ideas on transdisciplinarity and transculturalism. There remains, therefore, the sincere and deep feelings of condolence to all colleagues in this community, in which Ubi held the first opening conference in Nottingham, in 1998, and to family members, especially his beloved wife Maria Jos? and his son Alexandre. In his greatness and light, Ubi lives on in all of us, empowering our never-ending struggles for justice, equality, and humanity for all peoples, all generations, and the very earth that sustains us.
