This Institute will consist of an intensive extended workshop involving=20
working together on issues to do with the learning and teaching of=20
mathematics. Activities will include readings, discussions, mathematical=20
activities, individual and collaborative work designed to probe deeply into=

The institute will be led by John Mason and Anne Watson and there may be=20
some invited contributions. There will be no papers presented and no=20
lectures. Our aim is to develop an atmosphere of shared conjecture and=20
exploration. The theme will be:
Disturbance, Variation and Construction:
How do disturbance, variation, and construction serve to initiate=20
mathematical thinking, and assist learning to be more than transitory?
Participants are invited to bring a mathematical or pedagogic task to share=
