Description

We cordially invite you to participate in the third PLATINUM webinar organized by PLATINUM (Partnership for Learning And Teaching IN University Mathematics).

The webinar will have focus on

  • Communities of inquiry formed by university teachers of mathematics;
  • Design of inquiry tasks suitable for university students with special needs; and on
  • Inquiry and mathematical modelling.

We acknowledge that developing and sustaining inquiry-based activities for students is very challenging for a teacher who is working alone.  The PLATINUM project emphasises collaborative activities both within  partner groups and across the whole community. We inquire with our students and for ourselves within the context and culture of our local and national settings. This raises many issues and places constraints on what is possible, so sharing these issues and addressing the constraints in an inquiry spirit is a key element of our partnership.

The Webinar is organised by colleagues at Boris Grinchenko Kyiv University, Ukraine, in collaboration with the University of Agder and MatRIC, The Centre for Excellence in Mathematics Teaching. To assist the listeners with hearing disparity, speech-to-text captions to all presentations will be provided during the webinar.

Audience: We focus on university mathematics teaching, but the webinar is open to all participants interested in teaching and learning mathematics through inquiry and fostering own mathematical thinking.
