Professor John Mason was one of the keynote speakers at the Sixth MatRIC Annual conference this year. Professor Mason is interested in the teaching of mathematics in schools in each and every phase, from kindergarten to university.
He retired as Professor Emeritus from the Open University in 2009 where he had worked for 39.5 years but maintains a very active life style conducting numerous workshops for teachers in the UK and abroad, leads seminars, and presents plenary lectures as he did in Bergen in November 2019.
PLATINUM team members enjoyed Professor Mason’s talk, actively participated in the workshop he led at the Sixth MatRIC Annual Conference, and had interesting discussions in the breaks.
