Thematic Working Group 8 Social Interactions in Mathematical Learning Situations

Working group 8 brought together papers focussing on social interaction within a wide range of mathematical learning situations. The group received, reviewed, modified and accepted seven papers, while the working group extended to seventeen members, three of whom had submitted relevant posters. In addition, Bertolini Bussi and Krummheuer each presented work to initiate discussion about the methodology of research in classrooms, though these are not included, While the majority of the papers presented work in its completed or almost complete state, two papers, Fetzer and Schreiber, presented early stages of work in progress.
