Constructing competence: an analysis of student participation in the activity systems of mathematics classrooms Melissa Gresalfi & Taylor Martin & Victoria Hand & James Greeno _ Springer Science + Business Media B.V. 2008 Abstract This paper investigates the construction of systems of competence in two middle school mathematics classrooms. Drawing on analyses of discourse from videotaped classroom sessions, this paper documents the ways that agency and accountability were distributed in the classrooms through interactions between the teachers and students as they worked on mathematical content.

NewcastleGatesheaOver the last decade Newcastle has been transformed into
a vibrant, cosmopolitan city thanks to significant cultural
investment and the development of world-class facilities.
Right in the heart of the city, Newcastle University is leading
the way in a cultural renaissance. The area where the city and
University meet is currently under development to become the
Cultural Quarter, where a range of on-campus facilities, including
three museums, an art gallery, a theatre and various music venues,
will be opened up to the general public as well as our students.
So if you want to be part of a city and university that is dynamic
and culturally alive, then Newcastle is the place for you.
