IS UNIVERSITY MATHEMATICS A GOOD PREPARATION FOR TEACHING MATHEMATICS?

The Mathematics Association working group 'Teaching and Learning
Undergraduate Mathematics' has carried out a survey among students on PGCE
secondary mathematics courses asking them to write about their responses
to their previous experiences of mathematics courses at university. Many
of the students expressed strong feelings and opinions - both positive and
negative. A preliminary analysis of the responses will be presented and
possible relationships between undergraduate experiences of mathematics
and preparation for teaching will be discussed.              

Tea and coffee will be available from about 5 o'clock. All are welcome.
Please contact Tim Rowland tr202@cam.ac.uk for directions and further
details.
