The 13th Annual INSTITUTE OF MATHEMATICS PEDAGOGY
will take place at the Ripon-Cuddesdon College, Cuddesdon,
Oxfordshire OX44 9EX
from Tuesday Aug 6th to Friday Aug 9th 2013
The Institute will be led by John Mason, Malcolm Swan
and Anne Watson and will consist of work on mathematics,
readings, reflections and discussions about teaching and
learning mathematics.
There will be a full programme from 2pm on the 6th until
lunchtime on the 9th, including evening activities.
This year's theme is: Exchange & Substitution
Is exchange useful as a metaphor, or as an awareness to underpin
other mathematical topics?
Might exchange provide an enactive basis for understanding arithmetic,
algebra, and reasoning?
Is understanding exchange necessary for making progress in
mathematics?
How might exchange be expressed so that young children have access to
relevant tasks?
What other manifestations of exchange or substitution might underpin
mathematical topics?
There will be no papers or formal presentations; the group will
work together intensively and creatively with issues and ideas to
develop thinking and practice. See
http://www.atm.org.uk/mt/archive/mt191files/ATM-MT191-37-40.pdf
for some insight into how the Institute operates.
The fee will be £340 which includes accommodation during the
Institute, all meals and other refreshments, materials and so on.
Non resident fee is £175. A limited number of bursaries may be
available.
We shall need a non-returnable £50 deposit to hold a place (if
your institution is paying, then the full fee would be
appreciated).
