- One of the NZIMA's newest programmes aims to bring teachers and lecturers together to create
a vision for senior secondary and undergraduate mathematical science.
A survey is being conducted to gather baseline data on Year 12 & 13 mathematics and statistics teachers' views about barriers to students taking senior mathematics and statistics in schools.
If you are a Mathematics teacher currently working in a secondary school, you are invited to
participate in our Secondary Mathematics Teachers' Survey.
It should take no more than 10-15 minutes to complete.
- The next NZIMA/NZMRI summer meeting will be held 9-14 January 2011, at Raglan,
with the theme of
Dynamical systems.
