[Maths-Education] RE: Call for Papers: CERME7, WG3, Algebraic Thinking

[Olley, Christopher]

Jeremy,

Could I develop the article I did for a professional book (Oldknow et al) on the Pizza problem. I've trailled it a number of professional conferences (Nama, T3 etc.) under your modelling/applications strand?

Call for papers for CERME7: Working Group 3: Algebraic Thinking

If you are interested in algebraic thinking, you may want to submit a paper to WG3 on Algebraic Thinking at CERME7. CERME7 (The Seventh Congress of the European Society for Research in Mathematics Education) will take place at Rzeszów, Poland: 9th to 13th February 2011:
www.cerme7.univ.rzeszow.pl

Group Leaders
Jeremy Hodgen (UK) jeremy.hodgen at kcl.ac.uk
María C. Cañadas (Spain)
Therese Dooley (Ireland)
Reinhard Oldenburg (Germany)

Scope and Focus of Working Group 3
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. The 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 Working Group 3 we welcome theoretical, methodological, philosophical, empirical or developmental papers (10 pages maximum) and poster proposals (2 pages) on issues such as the following, though any paper/poster of relevance to the overall focus of the group will also be welcomed:

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

The focus of the research may vary from individual students and classrooms, teachers and student teachers.

Papers and poster proposals should use the CERME7 WORD template, and conform to the guidelines at www.cerme7.univ.rzeszow.pl/?id=cerme-guidelines-for-authors. To submit it, you must email your paper as a WORD document to Jeremy Hodgen at jeremy.hodgen at kcl.ac.uk, AND at the same time to the conference secretariat at s.cerme7 at univ.rzeszow.pl. 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 2010. 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 2010: Deadline for submission of papers.
1st October 2010: Deadline for submission of poster proposals
22nd October 2010: Deadline for reviewers to submit their reviews.
1st December 2010: Deadline for revisions to papers.
