Abstract

In this chapter, we would like to introduce discussions about the affective constructs and their relation to teaching and learning of mathematics. Before the conference, we agreed to change the title of TWG from “Affect and mathematical thinking” to “Affect and teaching and learning of mathematics”. The new title of the group better reflects the broad scope of research that we welcome in our group. All types of affective constructs that emerges in relation to both learning and teaching of mathematics could be represented and discussed in the working group during the conference. The number of submissions and participants confirmed the interest of mathematics education researchers in affect. In total 26 papers and 3 posters were submitted to our group, with 24 papers and 2 posters were accepted for presentation, and 23 papers and 2 posters accepted for publication in these conference proceedings. Our group included presentations from Canada, Israel and different European countries. Participation of researchers from 15 countries (including 13 newcomers) reflected the spirit of inclusion that is traditional for this group that has been discussing affect in mathematics education in recent years.
