On the 25th May 2013, fourteen practitioners from the UBS project completing their Level 4 ECD certificate programme attended a one day ICT workshop at the Maths Centre. Some of them had never worked on a computer.

To celebrate World Maths Day, the Western Cape Maths Centre team transformed their office into a Numeracy Hub. Guests enjoyed a two hour session filled with fun activities and shared information on the Western Cape scope of work in the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) Literacy and Numeracy intervention project.

As the world celebrated World Maths Day, so did the learners at Bophepa Primary in Wolmaransstad in the North West province.

The schools were given sample activities to do. The activities included problem solving, board games, spinner games and the learners had to test out new equipment such as the treadle wheel.

Maths Centre's Limpopo provincial office recently held an exhibition which focused on marketing the Centre and engaging learners with the real-world application of maths and science.

On 15 February some thirty Maths Centre staff members attended a hands-on Geometro workshop. The workshop was conducted by Aniceta Skowron, founder of Geometro, a Ontario (Canada) based developer of materials and programs for teaching geometry and its application to science.
