BSRLM Working Groups
BSRLM Geometry Working Group
Coordinators: Keith Jones and Taro Fujita.
The Geometry Working Group focuses on the teaching and learning of geometrical ideas in its widest sense. The aim of the group is to share perspectives on a range of research questions that could become the basis for further collaborative work. Suggestions of topics for discussion are always welcome. The group is open to all.

BSRLM Trigonometry Working Group
For many years trigonometry has been seen as a critical hurdle for those who wish to achieve at GCSE. To understand trigonometry involves orchestrating many concepts which in themselves are known to be hard to understand: angles, rations, functions for example. This area of mathematics is therefore a rich arena for exploring how such understandings can be coordinated; how teaching might make this meaningful; as well as the nature of trigonometry. The group is working towards making a statement about the place and purpose of trigonometry in the secondary curriculum informed by practice and research.

BSRLM is for people interested in research
in mathematics education and provides
a supportive environment for both
new and experienced researchers
to develop their ideas.
