- Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Technology in Mathematics Teaching ICTMT 12Publication . Amado, Nélia; Carreira, SusanaInnovation, inclusion, sharing and diversity are some of the words that briefly and suitably characterize the ICTMT series of biennial international conferences – the International Conference on Technology in Mathematics Teaching. Being the twelfth of a series which began in Birmingham, UK, in 1993, under the influential enterprise of Professor Bert Waits from Ohio State University, this conference was held in Portugal for the first time. The 12th International Conference on Technology in Mathematics Teaching was hosted by the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the University of Algarve, in the city of Faro, from 24 to 27 June 2015, and was guided by the original spirit of its foundation. The integration of digital technologies in mathematics education across school levels and countries, from primary to tertiary education, together with the understanding of the phenomena involved in the teaching and learning of mathematics in technological environments have always been driving forces in the transformation of pedagogical practices. The possibility of joining at an international conference a wide diversity of participants, including school mathematics teachers, lecturers, mathematicians, mathematics educators and researchers, software designers, and curriculum developers, is one facet that makes this conference rather unique. At the same time, it seeks to foster the sharing of ideas, experiences, projects and studies while providing opportunities to try-out and assess tools or didactical proposals during times of hands-on work. The ICTMT 12 had this same ambition, when embracing and welcoming just over 120 delegates who actively and enthusiastically contributed to a very packed program of scientific proposals and sessions on various topics.
- Proceedings of the Problem@Web International Conference: technology, creativity and affect in mathematical problem solvingPublication . Carreira, Susana Paula Graça; Amado, Nélia; Jones, Keith; Jacinto, HéliaThe Problem@Web International Conference is a satellite conference of a research project conducted in Portugal between December 2010 and June 2014, jointly developed by the Institute of Education of the University of Lisbon and the University of Algarve. The project was launched to embrace the opportunity of studying mathematical problem solving beyond the mathematics classroom, by looking at the context of two web-based inclusive mathematical competitions. The research team and the project external consultant (Prof. Keith Jones) took upon themselves the task of promoting a conference aiming to present and disseminate the main results of the research undertaken and to create the opportunity of sharing and discussing neighbouring perspectives and ideas from scholars and researchers in the international field. Technology, creativity, and affect in mathematical problem solving were the three strands of this conference within which pedagogical and research perspectives were offered. The conference proceedings provide an overview of all the research work presented in the form of plenary sessions, research papers and e-posters.
