What We Do
The aims of BSRLM are:
- To be the major forum for research into mathematics education in this country;
- To be both an environment for supporting new researchers and a forum for established ones;
- To be accessible to as wide a range as possible of people interested in mathematics education;
- To promote the conduct and dissemination of research in mathematics education in this country.
BSRLM organises three day-conferences each year. Members take advantage of a supportive atmosphere to present reports of work-in-progress, recently completed studies, or more speculative thinking. Informal proceedings, comprising short papers from meetings, are published.
We work closely with the British Educational Research Association (BERA) Mathematics Education Special Interest Group (SIG). This is a a forum for bringing together educational researchers interested in a wide range of questions and concerns involving the teaching and learning of mathematical ideas, both inside and outside of formal educational settings.
BSRLM publications include occasional monographs, annual collections of reviewed research papers from 1990-2000 and, since 2000, the journal Research in Mathematics Education, published by Taylor and Francis.
RME now has its own page on the publisher’s website
