Newcastle University

The Nottingham University (UNOTT) Centre for Research in Mathematics Education’s particular strength lies in its emphasis on designing and analysing processes, products and experiences with and for teachers and learners. It incorporates and continues the internationally recognised work of the Shell Centre for Mathematics Education and the Mathematics Assessment Resource Service (MARS). As part of its long-term work to raise standards in the design of educational materials and processes, the Centre has worked with others to set up and develop the International Society for Design and Development in Education (ISDDE). UNOTT will have a major role in WP1 and WP3, and allow the project to draw on the materials developed for its successful initiatives in assessment in the UK, EU and the US.
