Professor Dame Celia Hoyles OBE Celia Hoyles is Professor of Mathematics Education at the London Knowledge Lab, Institute of Education, University of London, following teaching in London secondary schools. She was awarded a first class honours degree in mathematics from the University of Manchester and holds a masters and doctorate in mathematics education. She was the U.K. Government's Chief Adviser for Mathematics , 2004-7, and the Director of the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics, 2007 -13. |
| She was the first recipient of International Commission of Mathematics Instruction (ICMI) Hans Freudenthal medal in 2004 and of the UK's Royal Society Kavli Education Medal in 2011. She became an Officer of the British Empire (OBE) in 2004, and was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2014. Her academic interests are secondary students' conceptions of proof, the mathematical skills needed in modern workplaces and the design computer environments for learning mathematics. She has directed more than 30 research and consultancy projects and published widely in articles and books. She also co-presented a popular TV mathematics quiz show, Fun and Games, which topped the prime-time ratings between 1987 and 1990. She serves on the Education Committee of the European Mathematical Society and was elected as President of the learned society the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) in Jan 2014. |

Professor Richard Noss Richard Noss is Professor of Mathematics Education and director of the London Knowledge Lab, an interdisciplinary research centre of the Institute of Education, University of London that involves collaboration between learning scientists and computing scientists. Until it ended in 2012, he was director of the Technology Enhanced Learning Research Programme, a national research programme that sought to push forward the frontiers of the design and application of technology for learning. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, and a Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences. |
| Richard has directed some 20 research projects, all of which have focused on some mix of technology-enhanced learning, mathematics, and - for the last ten or so years - workplace learning. Richard has edited and authored some 120 scholarly articles and six books, including Windows on Mathematical Meanings: Learning Cultures and Computers, in 1996. His most recent book, Improving Mathematics at Work, questions the mathematical knowledge and skills that matter in the 21st century world of work, and studies how the use of mathematics in the workplace is evolving in the rapidly-changing context of new technologies and globalisation. Richard is a past editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning. He was co-founder and deputy scientific manager of Kaleidoscope, the European network of excellence for technology enhanced learning. Richard holds a Masters degree in pure mathematics and a PhD in mathematical education. |
