DESCRIPTION:The project "The Evolution of School Mathematics\n
 Discourse" developed a framework for analysing the
  discourse of GCSE\nexamination questions\, founde
 d in the theoretical assumption that\nmathematical
  activity involves engagement in mathematical form
 s of\ndiscourse and hence that differences in the 
 discourse in which\nstudents are expected to engag
 e can be interpreted as differences in\ntheir math
 ematical activity. Students were asked to answer q
 uestions\nwritten using forms of language found in
  examinations from different\nyears. In this semin
 ar I will present some of the results of this\ninv
 estigation\, focusing in particular on student res
 ponses to\nquestions with different degrees of spe
 cialisation.\n
