In Topic Study Group 2 we will examine and discuss
contemporary developments in learning and teaching |
| mathematics
at the primary school. We will try to achieve an appropriate
balance between theory and practice |
| and
between research and developmental activities. We will also
attempt to bring together a blend of research |
| and
practice activities from the different countries represented
in our TSG. |
