in Collaboration with the
National Teacher Education Mathematics Conference
INTELLECTUAL COLLABORATION TOWARDS EXCELLENCE IN MATHEMATICS EDUCATION
3-6 September 2007 ♦ Grand Seasons Hotel, Kuala Lumpur



INTRODUCTION. Every educationist has his or her own expertise and
experience in specific fields. Sharing these expertise and experience
with others would enrich everyone. Opportunity for sharing is limited
during working hours. Hence, efforts should be made to provide the
opportunity for sharing knowledge and experiences. A national level
Mathematics Conference is a means of providing the opportunity for
sharing expertise and experience. Through intellectual collaboration,
everyone would benefit and be able to face effectively the challenges
in the teaching and learning of Mathematics. The aim of the Third
