(Not Moderated)
This newsgroup is intended for discussion of mathematics and
issues in all aspects of mathematical education, focusing mainly
from the perspective of UK posters.
It will allow us to share ideas, experiences and information.
Forthcoming events can be publicised and reports can be posted
and discussed. Some people may want to start discussions based
on articles in periodical publications produced by professional
maths associations such as the Maths Association and the
Association of Teachers of Mathematics. Issues raised at
mathematical conferences could continue to be aired through this
newsgroup.
