TEACHING

I have been a teacher of Mathematics at several levels of Education, from Middle School to Graduate level. In the summer semester of 2012 I taught, in the Slovenian language, a course of Probability and Statistics at the Computer Science Faculty of the University of Ljubljana. I was also an assistant at the Lusofona University, in Portugal, to several Algebra and Topology courses during 2001/2003. The years prior to the work on my Ph.D. dissertation were very much related with the Education of Mathematics in several levels of education, from primary education to university. I also have been involved with several professional mathematics teachers associations - like Mathema, the Slovenian Institute for promotion of Mathematics, and the Portuguese Mathematics Teacher’s Association - as well as with related scientific projects – such as Gripenet, by Instituto Gulbenkian Ciência, in Portugal. I am a certified teacher’s trainer with experience in the area, having prepared courses for teachers on Experimental Mathematics.

The following are courses given both in Portugal and in Slovenia, in several levels of Education of Mathematics:
