11/16	Expanding the participation metaphor: What is the development of mathematical practice? Karen King (Michigan State University)	Abstract: This presentation explores an extension of the theoretical perspective of the participation metaphor as outlined by Sfard (1998) to research on undergraduate mathematics education. In particular, by building on the work of Burton (2004) in describing mathematicians' practices, this presentation puts forward for critique a theoretical argument for learning mathematics in undergraduate years as moving closer to the center of the community of practice of research mathematicians. The presentation outlines the elaboration of this theory and explores implications for further research and practice.
