[RUME] 11th International Conference of The Mathematics Education into the 21st Century Project

[Alan Rogerson]

Dear friends connected to Mathematics Education,

Apologies in advance for any cross-mailings but hopefully the 
information below will be of interest to you.

We are very pleased, honoured and excited that our next International 
Conference will be held in South Africa in 2011 co-hosted by Rhodes 
University at Grahamstown, with Professor Marc Schafer as Chairman of 
the Local Organising Committee.

You may not be aware that our Project, which was founded in 1986, and 
all of our conferences, ten so far starting in 1999, are entirely 
educational and philanthropic, non-profit making and non-commercial. All 
of our work to help innovate the teaching and learning of mathematics is 
done on an unpaid voluntary basis, so we rely on the goodwill and 
cooperation of colleagues world-wide to spread the word about our 
conferences and, we hope, to encourage students and local teachers to 
attend.

Even though we have no direct funding as such we do try with our limited 
sponsorship funds to assist especially teachers and students from the 
host country to attend our conference, and we always include a special 
two day programme for local teachers at the beginning of the conference. 
The 2011 Conference will be held from September 10 (arrival day)-16 so 
we are planning our special local teachers programme for the two days 
Monday/Tuesday September 11-12.

We would be most grateful if you could support us in one or more of the 
following ways:

- Post the Preliminary Announcement below on any electronic bulletin 
boards, email lists and journals you know of
- Print a hard copy and pin the notice on your Department Notice Board
- Encourage your colleagues, your students, and any local teachers you 
have contact with, to attend the conference
- Prepare and send me your own proposal to present a workshop or paper 
at our conference
- Enquire now about local funding to help you and/or colleagues, 
students, teachers to attend the conference in 2011

Please let me know if you have any questions or need further 
information. We thank you in advance for whatever help you can give us 
and we look forward very much to meeting and working with you in South 
Africa in 2011!

Alan Rogerson , Chairman of the International Programme Committee
Marc Schafer, Chairman of the Local Organising Committee

  Preliminary Announcement and Call for Papers

The Mathematics Education into the 21^st Century Project has just 
completed its tenth successful international conference in Dresden, 
Germany, following conferences in Egypt, Jordan, Poland, Australia, 
Sicily, Czech Republic, Malaysia and the USA. Our project was founded in 
1986 and is dedicated to the planning, writing and disseminating of 
innovative ideas and materials in Mathematics, Statistics, Science and 
Computer Education.  The next conference is planned for September 10 -- 
16, 2011 in Grahamstown, South Africa. The chairman of the Local 
Organising Committee is Professor Marc Schafer of Rhodes University. The 
conference will open with an evening welcome reception on Sunday, Sep 
10^th and will close with lunch on Friday, Sep 16th. Major sponsors will 
include Autograph.

The title of the conference is "*/Turning Dreams into Reality: 
Transformations and Paradigm Shifts in Mathematics Education/*". Paper 
proposals are now invited on all innovative aspects of mathematics, 
statistics, science and computer education. Our conferences are renowned 
for their friendly and productive working atmosphere. They are attended 
by innovative teachers and mathematics educators from all over the 
world, 44 countries were represented at our last conference for example.

There will be an additional full social programme for accompanying persons.
