Annual Conference Proceedings


MERGA has a strong tradition of sharing current research and ideas from its annual conference to a wider audience, through publication of the proceedings. A complete .pdf of the conference proceedings is made available on this website at the time of the annual conference, for use by delegates. Following the conference, individual papers will also be uploaded to this website to facilitate effective location of specific material. Papers undergo a moderate blind peer review process.

The following provides a full list of the conference proceedings and papers for the Annual MERGA conference.

Quick Reads

Quick Reads are one-page extended abstracts of conference papers presented at MERGA conferences. They provide readers with a quick overview of the nature of research papers presented at the conference. With the exception of the Plenary and Early Career Award (ECA) papers, these papers are in no way ranked to be in any order of "best papers"; rather, they present the diverse interests of the MERGA community.

Teacher Reads

Teacher Reads are one-page extracts of research findings from MERGA conference papers. The purpose of Teacher Reads is to disseminate aspects of research that is meaningful to teachers, such as mathematical tasks, assessment tools, strategies for teaching, considerations for student learning, findings of research that may impact classroom practice, etc. We hope teachers will draw inspiration from these Reads and follow up with details from the conference papers for research informed classroom practice
