Collaborative Group for Research in Mathematics Education
Archives of MATHEDU
MATHEDU is an open majordomo list for discussions about teaching and learning post-calculus mathematics, including graduate courses.
American Mathematical Society, Committee on Education.The Committee on Education is charged, among other things, to: serve as the Society's channel for communication with other organizations on matters concerning education; provide a forum for the discussion of mathematics education issues facing the U.S.A. including general mathematics education for K-12, undergraduate and graduate mathematics education and the recruitment of young people and underrepresented groups into the profession; recommend to the Society, and to the research community, actions which will make positive contributions to improving mathematics education.
Centre for Mathematics Education, The Open University, Milton Keynes, U.K. Mission is to support teachers involved with mathematics at all levels from kindergarten to tertiary.
EXTEND. Expectations of Mathematics Education.
EXTEND is a national Internet forum on mathematics education intended to involve new constituencies, to engage new voices, and to examine new perspectives.
Major topics will be explored through forum reports, position papers, and reader commentary: These topics are addressed from many perspectives, including those of educators and employers, business leaders and public officials.
In addition, EXTEND provides information on innovative programs and links to important documents related to reform of mathematics education in schools, colleges, and universities.
Access. Providing access to higher mathematics for all students amidst continuing public debate about the wisdom of tracking and the role of federal, state, and local policy in enabling reform.
Expectations. Society's conflicting expectations for the goals (ends) and pedagogy (means) of school mathematics. Concerns about the relation of skills to understanding, about connections with other disciplines, and about preparation for employment.
Articulation. Creating smoother transitions between education and work, between school and college, and within sectors of higher education. Preparing teachers to facilitate these transitions and students to respond to new environments.
Integration. Opportunities and impediments for connecting mathematics with other areas of school, including integration with career and vocational academies as well as interdiscplinary projects with other subjects.
Numeracy. Diverse views on the quantitative demands of today's society and the relation of quantitative literacy to mathematics education.
Freudenthal
Institute, The Netherlands The Freudenthal Institute is part
of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science and the
Center for Science and Mathematics Education at Utrecht
University, the Netherlands. The institute is working in the
areas of research, education, (in)service teacher training and
societal service for primary and secondary education. The staff
consists of mathematicians, physicists, psychologists, teachers,
teacher trainers and educators working together in an
interdisciplinary approach from outside who collaborate with the
FI.
The International Commission on Mathematical Instruction. Established at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Rome in 1908 on the suggestion of David Eugene Smith. The first President of ICMI was Felix Klein and the first Secretary General was Henri Fehr. L'Enseignement Mathématique, founded by Henri Fehr in 1899, is the official organ of ICMI. In 1952 ICMI was reconstituted as a Commission of the International Mathematical Union. Recently ICMI has found it important to de involved directly in identifying issues or topics of particular contemporary significance to mathematics education and to invest effort in mounting specific studies on these themes.
International Directory of Mathematics Educators. The international directory consists of individuals currently working in mathematics education. It includes details of all individuals who supplied address information up to 1st June 2001. The list may be browsed by country or in full.
The goal of the Mathematics Archives is to provide organized
Internet access to a wide variety of mathematical resources. The
primary emphasis is on materials which are used in the teaching
of mathematics. Currently the Archives is particularly strong in
its collection of educational software. Other areas, ranging from
laboratory notebooks and problem sets to lecture notes and
reports on innovative methods, are growing. A second strength of
the Archives is its extensive collection of links to other sites
that are of interest to mathematicians. Resources available
through these links include electronic journals, preprint
services, grant information, and publishers of mathematical
software, texts, and journals. These educational resources and
the organized collection of links combine to make the Mathematics
Archives a comprehensive site for mathematics on the Internet.

Mathematical Association of America
(MAA): the world's largest organization devoted to the
promotion of collegiate mathematics.
Mathematical Association of
Victoria, Australia. The Mathematical Association of Victoria
was founded in 1906. It is a non-profit subject association with
1800 members (individuals, schools, universities and other
interested bodies). It promotes the teaching and learning of
mathematics, and represents generally the views of persons
connected with the teaching of mathematics.
Develops Mathematica and Maple-based courses and materials. Revision material on differentiation, integration and limits. Discussion boards on A-level (university entrance) and undergraduate mathematics
National Council of Teachers of
Mathematics, U.S.A. Founded in 1920 as a not-for-profit
professional and educational association, NCTM is the largest
organization dedicated to the improvement of mathematics
education and to meeting the needs of teachers of mathematics.
Oklahoma State University, Mathematics Education Center
Centre for the Study of Mathematics Education
A centre for research and development within the School of Education at the University of Nottingham.
University of Georgia, Department of Mathematics Education One of the strongest mathematics education departments on this planet. Built up under the long-term stewardship of James W. Wilson. Academic home of Leslie P. Steffe.
University of Montana, Mathematics Education The Department of Mathematical Sciences has an active group of mathematics educators whose research interests lie in the areas of curriculum development, assessment, and technology education. The primary focus of mathematics education is the undergraduate program, but there is a small graduate component.
Wisconsin Center for Education
Research - one of the oldest and largest education research
centers in the world. A part of the University of
Wisconsin-Madison's School of Education, WCER provides a
productive environment where some of the country's leading
scholars conduct basic and applied education research. The WCER
roster includes over thirty-five research centers and projects,
including the School Mathematics and Science Achievement Center,
and the following research projects in mathematics education: *
Modeling in Mathematics and Science , * Building Bridges Between
Mathematics and Science, * Teaching and Learning Geometry for
Understanding, * Thinking About Simple Machines: Model-Based
Reasoning in Design Contexts.
