SUMMARY:How can we avoid disabling mathematics learners? - Professor Lulu 
 Healy\, King's College London
DTSTART:20181031T163000Z

CONTACT:Ann Waterman
DESCRIPTION:This talk will focus on aspects of our research programme aime
 d at building a more inclusive school mathematics and committed to challen
 ging discriminatory visions of students’ potential for mathematics learn
 ing. It will share activities and results that have emerged during collabo
 rative partnerships between teachers and researchers that cross the bounda
 ries between the domains of research and practice. Examples from our work 
 with disabled learners will be presented in order to explore our combined 
 attempts to understand the different learning trajectories by which studen
 ts appropriate mathematical concepts and the mediational tools that might 
 substitute conventional ways of expressing mathematics. Through engaging p
 articipants with alternative ways of working mathematically\, designed to 
 respect student diversity\, the aim will be to communicate how our finding
 s have relevance beyond the particular contexts in which they initially em
 erged and contribute to the critiquing of existing school structures that 
 marginalise\, exclude and disable many mathematics learners.
