Key challenges in maths education and how we might address them (and some nice bits of maths!)

Charlie Stripp MBE - Chief Executive, MEI, NCETM National Director and President, The Mathematical Association  

Wednesday 9th October - 7:00pm for a 7:30pm start at University of Leeds


Maths education has never been more important to individuals or to society. There are some successes to celebrate,  but there are also  some key challenges that are limiting our ability to improve maths education in the UK, in particular:

  • Public attitudes to maths and maths education
  • A chronic shortage of secondary maths teachers
  • A poor track record of using technology to enhance teaching and learning in mathematics

 

Charlie will discuss these challenges and what might be done to address them. He will also share some nice maths problems!
