Résumé
The ‘theory working group’ (under various names) has been a feature of CERME since CERME4. An early and constant focus has been ‘networking theories’, exploring ways of using different theories in mathematics education research (MER) into learning and teaching mathematics. The CERME9 ‘Call for papers’ included: — The need to go beyond a specific theory when researching a phenomena — Benefits and/or strategies and/or difficulties in connecting theories — Conditions for a productive dialogue between theorists — Difficulties and strategies when gathering results from different frameworks — Linking theoretical and methodological approaches — The epistemological dimension in theories — Steps towards (local/global) theoretical convergence in MERIn our 12 hours together at CERME9 we discussed 19 research papers and two posters; our task in these five pages is to introduce you to the ones (almost all of them) which have been accepted for these Proceedings. We arrange the papers into five groups in the next section. These groups are not ‘strongly defined’ but are, we believe, useful for communication. The closing section examines issues arising from the papers as a whole and future possibilities. For reasons of space, we refer to the papers by the surname(s) of the author(s) alone.
