The Centre of Mathematics and Science Education at Bayreuth University is responsible for in-service teacher education. Our focus in research is on the technical development of mathematical software combined with a teaching concept and its realisation by means of dynamic worksheets. Research activities include the cooperation with schools. Additionally we foster problem-based or inquiry-based teaching and learning. Even mathematics is taught as an experimental science. But here – unlike in science – we have to prove our discoveries and conjectures.
