Summary/Abstract: PLATINUM is a project in which the main focus is the development of teaching and learning mathematics through an inquiry-based approach in which our students, through their own inquiry in mathematics, engage more deeply and develop more conceptual mathematical understandings. The project spans seven countries with partners in eight universities. In each of these universities the partner team has engaged with ideas about inquiry-based learning and teaching in mathematics and, in so doing, members have developed their own practices. In our submission to the EU Erasmus+ programme, we promised a book in which each partner would write a case study, from their inquiry community, in which they would discuss their learning and development through engagement with the six Intellectual Outputs of the project (see Chapters 2 and 5 and below). This chapter provides an introduction to these case studies and a brief perspective on the main elements of each case study.
