THE VENUE Faculty of Education Sciences, North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, President Street POTCHEFSTROOM, the oldest town in the North West, is symbolic of South Africa's constitutional, cultural and religious development. The town was established in 1838 by a group of Voortrekkers led by Andries Hendrik Potgieter. The name was derived from POT (gieter), the Voortrekker leader, CHEF (the leader, referring to Potgieter), and STROOM (the Mooi River). This city on the banks of the Mooiriver, with its 24 declared national monuments, has a rich history. Tourists may acquaint themselves with the city by relaxing at the Lakeside Pleasure Resort with all its Watersports facilities and visit the OPM Prozesky Bird Sanctuary. The botanical garden and Science Centre of the Potchefstroom University for CHE, as well as and the wide variety of sports facilities present the visitor with further opportunities for relaxation. Today Potchefstroom is known as the City of Expertise and is home to; inter alia, four tertiary institutions and 30 schools, as well as numerous research bureaus and training centers. This enables Potchefstroom to step into the new millennium with confidence.
POTCHEFSTROOM CAMPUS, with a history going back 141 years has eight academic faculties:
Arts; Natural Sciences; Theology; Education Sciences; Economic and Management Sciences; Law, Engineering; and Health Sciences. In addition, it has 20 research entities, numerous centres and institutes and 102 researchers with ratings from the National Research Foundation. The latter include a physicist with an A1 rating. The Potchefstroom Campus was the first university in South Africa to offer the M Eng and the MSc in Nuclear Engineering. The Campus is also a key partner in the technology development of South Africa’s Pebble Bed Modular Reactor project. In addition to its impressive academic and research credentials, the Potchefstroom Campus is well known for its sporting prowess and facilities. These include the FNB High Performance Institute, where several Olympic athletics teams trained in preparation for the 2008 Olympic Games. The HPI has also been chosen as the Africa Sports Development Centre by the International Cycling Union and the International Triathlon Federation.

PLENARY SPEAKERS
Tim Rowland (UK) is Chair of the STeM (Science, Technology and Mathematics Education) Academic Group at the University of Cambridge, UK. Tim took an interest in mathematics from an early age, compulsively computing squares in his head whilst playing in defense for his primary school football team. He taught mathematics at a College of Education and two secondary schools before moving to teacher education and research in mathematics education. Tim has a wide range of research interests, including language and informal approaches to proof. In recent years his work has focused on the role of mathematical knowledge in teaching. He is implicated in two recent books on teacher knowledge, one jointly-authored with Cambridge colleagues; the other co-edited, and is joint editor of the journal /Research in Mathematics Education. Tim is Vice President of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME), and was Chair of the International Program Committee for the Conference of European Research in Mathematics Education held in Rzeszów, Poland, in 2011. He has a completed PhD in mathematics education and an uncompleted one (which took even longer) in mathematical logic.
Johann Engelbrecht (SA) is deputy dean of the faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences at the University of Pretoria and current director of the SA Mathematics Foundation. He was one of the founders of the international Delta movement, a southern hemisphere collaboration in the field of undergraduate mathematics education. He received awards for teaching, including the Claude Harris Leon Award “Championship in Mathematics Teaching” in 1998 and the South African Mathematical Society Award for the advancement of mathematics in 2005. Johann was the founder of the Mathematics for Undergraduates Teaching Initiative (MUTI), fostering ties between the mathematicians and other role-players, including other departments, faculties and universities and also initiated the UP mathematics competition. He was co-developer of computer courseware programmes in mathematics, co-authored two undergraduate textbooks in mathematics and developed numerous new courses and programmes in undergraduate mathematics. He represents South Africa on the International Programme Committee for ICME 2012 in Seoul.
Cyril Julie (SA) is a professor of Mathematics education at the University of the Western Cape. He also held a similar position at the University of Agder in Norway and acted as visiting Professor at the University of Bergen. He has been involved in mathematics education since the early 1970s as a teacher, developer of resources for school mathematics, conceptualiser and director of support programmes in mathematics for learners and teachers. At UWC, he has led the conceptualisation, development and implementation of degree programmes in mathematics for teachers and mathematics. He also led the Graduate Studies in Science, Mathematics and Technology education programme – a multi-national project to develop research capacity in Sub-Saharan countries through doctoral studies. Cyril was instrumental in establishing AMESA and is a member of the Agder Society of Letters and Science in Norway. He has published widely in peer-reviewed journals, book chapters and completed two books. He has different interrelated research interests, including amongst others, the development of high-quality teaching of school mathematics, the teaching and learning of the applications of mathematics and mathematical modelling, and elementary mathematics from an advanced point of view and advanced mathematics from an elementary point of view.
Makhalanyane Phillip Moeti (SA), has been teaching at Vuyani Mawethu Secondary School, in Matlosana for the past 16 years. He has taught Mathematics, Mathematical Literacy and Physical Science from Grade 10 to 12 and is currently the subject head of Mathematics and Mathematical Literacy at his school from Grade 8 to Grade 12. In 2006 he was appointed as one of eight master trainers by North West’s Mathematics, Science and Technology Services (MSTS). As master trainer for mathematics, he developed training materials and trained mathematics teachers on mathematics content knowledge in relation to the National Curriculum Statement (NCS). He facilitated at numerous workshops and clinics under the auspices of AMESA, North West MSTS and South African Democratic Teachers Union (SADTU) on mathematics content and mathematics curriculum issues. He is interested in the learning and teaching of Algebra with specific focus on learners’ errors and misconceptions. He believes that one of the reasons for the poor performance in secondary school mathematics is the transition from arithmetic to algebra. He harbors a notion that continuous learning is a “lived” experience that improves and extends the world.

PANEL 1: Mathematics Learning in Early Childhood (Foundation Phase)
Retha van Niekerk (SA) is currently a lecturer in the School of Education at North-West University. From 1989 to the completion of her PhD in 1997, she worked with small groups (6 to 8 year old learners) in investigating the development of their overall numeracy skills with a focus on their spatial development skills. The latter formed the basis of a PhD. After the completion of the PhD in 1998 she developed the SOC (Spatial Operational Capacity) model of spatial representation in the context of “building with blocks.
PANEL 2: Enacting of the Mathematics Curriculum
David Sekao holds a PhD in Mathematics Education from the University of North-West. He started his teaching career 23 years ago as a Mathematics teacher and later became Head of Department. He joined the Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) as a provincial mathematics coordinator in the GET. During his tenure as a provincial mathematics coordinator his responsibilities included the development of mathematics curricula as well as supporting subject advisors in the province on the implementation of mathematics curricula. Dr Sekao is currently in the employment of the Department of Basic Education (DBE) as a national mathematics coordinator and his primary responsibility is to develop the mathematics curriculum in the GET.
