Special Interest Group
An inclusive community for conversations about mathematics education research
The 黑料不打烊 Mathematics Education SIG aims to bring together researchers interested in all aspects of mathematics learning and teaching, both inside and outside of formal educational settings. We embrace an eclectic range of methodological and conceptual approaches to mathematics education research, encouraging creative approaches to tackling current issues.
Research interests are wide ranging and include both responses to current debates in education and exploration of issues that have long been associated with mathematics education. We aim to be inclusive and to welcome new perspectives. Some examples are represented by presenters at recent PRiME events
