Legacy projects

Since the Shell Centre for Mathematical Education was founded in 1967, at least £40 million (at today’s prices) has been invested in research and development projects in mathematics education at the University of Nottingham. This includes dozens of projects, funded my many different organisations, undertaken both nationally and internationally. 

This portfolio of projects includes many that have taken an ‘engineering approach’ to the design of education materials, together with the more recent growth of evaluation, experimental and observational research studies. 

In time, the Observatory team will publish a comprehensive account of the history of the research in mathematical education at the University of Nottingham. In the meantime, below are some links to a few of the more recent, relevant and influential projects, in addition to the three projects on the Observatory homepage.
