Intentionally blank You are invited to the Ninet eenth Annual National Congress of the Association for Mathematics Education of South Africa (AMESA) and to submit contributions around the theme:
Mathematics vs. the Curriculum: What’s the score?
VENUE: Faculty of Education, University of the Western Cape Modderdam Road, Bellville, Cape Town
DATE: 24 – 28 June 2013
CONGRESS THEME
For the past two decades AMESA has been witness to and has, in diverse ways, participated in the transformations of t he school curriculum for mathematics, away from the apartheid-era curriculum to the in terim curricula and on to the variou s iterations of Curriculum 2005, including the current result of such transformations, commonly referred to as CAPS.
The relation between mathematics as a disciplinary field of research and what comes to be constituted as mathematics in schooling is almost always in a state of tension, not least because the recontex tualising of mathematics contents to schooling has never been a smooth proce ss. Schooling is c ut across by the interests of many important stakeholders, each making their particular demands o n the mathematics curriculum, and usually in a manner that does not concern itself with the mathematical consist ency and coherence of school mathematics. We recognise that schooling is an ar ena in which competing social, political, economic, cultural and civil interests generate distorting effects on school mathematics as they play themselves out. We also note that school mathematics is, nevertheless, obliged to strive to realise some degr ee of fidelity to the field of mathematics, and the ways in which school curricula, texts, teachers and students attempt to realise that goa l while themselves im mersed in a sea of c ompeting interests, generates a rich and fascinating world of human endeavour. The c ontents of this world are not always fully congruent with their counterparts in the fi eld of mathematics, but that is not to be lamented because it offers us a context to study and appreciate the mathematical resourcefulness of those who contribute to the realisation of school mathematics in all its forms.
The theme of the conference asks us to attend to the specific and peculiar ways in which mathematics comes to be constituted in schooling and how, and even to offer some ideas of why.

4 PLENARY SPEAKERS
Zalman Usiskin (USA) is a professor emeritus of education at the University of Chicago, where he was an active fa culty member f rom 1969 through 2007. He continues as Director of the Univers ity of Chic ago School Ma thematics Project (UCSMP), a position he has held since 1987. UCSM P is the largest university-based curriculum project for K-12 mathematics in the USA, with several million students using its elementary and secondary textbooks and other materials. His rese arch has focused on the teaching and learning of arithme tic, algebra, and geometry, w ith particular attention to applications of mathematics at all levels and the use of transformations and related concepts in geometry, algebra, and statistics and matters related to curriculum, instruction, and testing. He is the author or co-author of more than 1 50 publications on mathematics and mathematics education, dozens of books and research monographs, including textbooks for Grades 6-12 and a mathema tics text for teachers . Zalman is a well-known and sought-after speaker in the USA. and internationally. He received the Glenn Gilbert (National Leadership) Award from the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics in 1994, and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in 2001.
Hamsa Venkat (SA) currently holds the position of SA Numeracy Chair at the University of the Wit watersrand. The w ork associated with this position inv olves a five year research and development project (the Wits Maths Con nect - Primary project) working to design and monitor interventions focu sed on improving the teaching and learning of primary mathematics in ten primary schools in one district. Hamsa began her career as a high school mathematics teacher in Lo ndon comprehensive schools before moving into mathematics teacher education at the Institute of Education in London. She holds a PhD from Kings College London, which was awarded the British Educational Research Association award in 2004 for making the most significant doctoral contribution in education. Hamsa has lived in South Africa for eight years. Her early research at Wits was focused on Mathematical Literacy. Her current focus is on primary mathematics teaching and learning, working with a project team consisting of Wits staff and postgraduate students.
Peter Dankelmann (SA) is Profess or of Mathematics at t he University of Johannesburg. He was born and educated in Germany, where he received his doctorate from the University RWTH Aachen. He worked at the University of (KwaZulu-)Natal from 1993, before joining the University of Johannesburg in 2012. Peter is an a ctive researcher in Graph Theory, a modern a rea of mathe matics which is used to model networks. He has published more than 70 research papers in leading international journals. He is a member of the editorial board of t he international journal Utilitas Mathematica, and a founder member of t he editorial board of the in ternational journal Electronic Journal of Graph Theory and its Applications. Peter believes that, due to its visual impact, Graph Theory could play an important role in making mathematics more accessible an d more exciting for learners and adults. Peter was active in the Interprovincial Mathematics Olympiad as a national organiser for nearly a decade, and he is currently a member of the organising committee of the South African Tertiary Mathematics Olympiad. In his spare time Peter is a chess enthusiast and a firm believer in the benefits of the game for learners; he also repeatedly held the title of KwaZulu-Natal chess champion.
Phadiela Cooper (SA) was born and raised in Cape Town. She completed her B.Soc.Sc degree at the University of Cape Town, HED at the University of South Africa, B.Ed and M.Ed degrees at the Univer sity of the Western Cape. She has been a mathematics teacher for 28 years, 18 years at Portland High School and 10 years at the Centre of Science and Te chnology (COSAT). For th e last f ive of the ten years at COSAT, she served as the principal, a p osition she currently holds. COSAT has been named one of the top t en schools in the Weste rn Cape bas ed on their 2011 matriculation examination results, the fir st township school to ach ieve this ac complishment. Phadiela is passionate about education and strives to make a difference in the lives of children, s pecifically disadvantaged children, through education.
Zain Davis (SA) lectures in mathematic s education in the Sch ool of Education at the University of Cape Town. He taught mathematics in a secondary school before moving the Mathematics Education Project of the University of Cape Town, and then on to the School of Education. Zain's chief current research intere st is exploring the question of what comes to be constituted as mathematics in the pe dagogic situations of elementary and secondary schooling. He draws on work in mathematics education, mathematics, semiotics, philosophy, psychoanalysis, sociology and linguistics in his exploration of the constitution of school mathematics.
