The section of mathematics and mathematics didactics is a strong and robust community that emphasizes innovation and practical approaches to learning. We work on learning and teaching mathematics at all educational levels (kindergarten teacher education, primary school teacher education, and postgraduate certificate in education). Additionally, we have been teaching continuing and further education (EVU) for kindergarten teachers and primary school teachers in mathematics for many years.
