Institute for Mathematical Pedagogy (IMP)

 A maximum of 25 people (teachers, advisers, academics, and us) meet and work on mathematical tasks
mostly chosen by Jenni Back, Corinne Angier and Chris Sangwin. The point is not to do the tasks, but rather to notice what is involved in working on the tasks, making sense, making progress, getting stuck, working with others, and the pedagogical implications of what we notice in ourselves.
​.
There are no 'conference papers' though sometimes people are moved to write about their experiences (see MT 191; 194; 232) and often there is an opportunity to offer a task connected with the theme.

IMP has been discontinued due to changing conditions
