the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education. FRAMEWORKS THAT SUPPORT RESEARCH ON MATHEMATICS EDUCATION WITH COMPUTER ALGEBRA SYSTEMS: REFLECTIONS ON CAME SYMPOSIA

Education (CAME) has been established. Further to this (but not because of this!!) some of us have ‘lost our innocence ’ along the way; youthful dreams of enhanced learning have been replaced by realism that all tools have their constraints as well as their enablements. CAME Symposia have been forums for these discussions. The rationale and goals for CAME Symposia are to serve as a bridge between two communities, the CAS research community and the main mathematics education community; to facilitate the dissemination and exchange of information on research and development in the use of computer algebra in mathematics education; to facilitate access to international expertise in the use of computer algebra in mathematics education; to promote the study of the use of computer algebra in mathematics education. The rationale for this discussion group is to present the products of CAME Symposia and to discuss their potential contribution to the PME community. In this paper we first describe briefly issues that were dealt with in each symposium. We then outline the specific topics for discussion. The First CAME Symposiu
