The Open University Mathematics Education team is part of the School of Maths and Statistics in the Open University. A Centre for Mathematics Education was established in 1983 and has had a profound influence on mathematics education in England, through the research contributions of many of its members and the opportunities to develop as a teacher through distance-learning.
This is the blog of the current team: Cathy Smith, Charlotte Lighter, Vinay Kathotia, Gerry Golding and Kellee Patterson.
The Open University currently offers three undergraduate modules in Mathematics Education:
ME620: Mathematical thinking in schools
ME321: Learning and doing geometry
ME322: Learning and doing algebra
