Part 1

Name the topic you will lead for a week, based on the discussions of previous two weeks: https://p2pu.org/en/groups/technology-for-mathematics-education/content/week-3-planning-your-tech-week/ If someone picked the topic you wanted, you can:

• Devote two or more weeks to the topic and explore it in-depth, each of you focusing on a different aspect of it, or
• Talk among you in comments to this task, and pick alternative topics

If you find it hard to pick a topic, remember: you can actively help as many people as you want with planning their weeks! And of course, you get to do all the tasks in all the weeks.

Part 2

Find a controversy, a dilemma, a long-standing conflict or a recent scandal related to your topic. Briefly explain the nature of the conflict. What are the sides saying? Why?

There are usually intellectually honest, smart and dedicated people on all sides of interesting controversies. I am yet to see a conflict between "good guys and bad guys." But people have different research frameworks, philosophies, or beliefs about learning. There are also political and economic conflicts of interests that underlie some dilemmas of mathematics education. Explore these deeper research- or practice-related reasons for the issue you pick.
