The title is meant to be a joke. Educational Studies in Mathematics always publish their issues early (at least the release dates don’t correspond to the numbers of the issues). Anyhow, the journal has now released the January issue of 2011 (Volume 76, Number 1). The issue contains five interesting articles (along with a couple of book reviews and an editorial):

• Can slope be negative in 3-space? Studying concept image of slope through collective definition construction, by Deborah Moore-Russo, Anna Marie Conner and Kristina I. Rugg
• The effect of using a video clip presenting a contextual story on low-achieving students’ mathematical discourse, by Yifat Ben-David Kolikant and Orit Broza
• Understanding mathematics textbooks through reader-oriented theory, by Aaron Weinberg and Emilie Wiesner
• “Variation problems” and their roles in the topic of fraction division in Chinese mathematics textbook examples, by Xuhua Sun
• Young workers and their dispositions towards mathematics: tensions of a mathematical habitus in the retail industry, by Robyn Jorgensen Zevenbergen
