We have a good presence of MSHE members at the BSRLM conference in London on 4 March 2017, with several of our members presenting their work.

Chronoula Voutsina, along with Keith Jones and research student Lois George, are reporting on changes in children’s mathematical task and strategy conceptualisation using microgenetic research designs. Chronoula’s latest publication is Oral counting sequences: a theoretical discussion and analysis through the lens of Representational Redescription.

Kotaro Komatsu (MSHE Visiting Fellow from Shinshu University, Japan) and Keith Jones, along with colleagues from the University of Exeter and Matsumoto Junior High School, Japan, are presenting their research on unification by proofs, the case of star polygon. Kotaro’s latest publication is Fostering empirical examination after proof construction in secondary school geometry, while Keith’s latest publication is An expert teacher’s use of teaching with variation to support a junior mathematics teacher’s professional learning.

Keith is also co-leading a workshop on analysing teachers’ activity with dynamic geometry software in the mathematics classroom, alongside colleagues from UCL Institute of Education and Université de Cergy-Pontoise, France.
