White Rose Maths are delighted to be hosting a free maths event with our friends at Maths is More!

So what is mathematics?

Maths is More is a group of experienced teachers, researchers and teacher educators from all sectors of education who are concerned about the restricted view of mathematics that is currently being portrayed within the media and in the communications of a number of state funded organisations. We have brought together a number of interested organisations to offer a broader and richer view of both the subject and the ways it can be taught which is research-informed. We have just arranged our first free event led by some exciting people and invite you to join us.

Suitable for all teachers of mathematics from early years to the end of formal schooling.

Speakers:

Mike Askew

Mike Askew is Visiting Distinguished Professor of Mathematics Education at the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, before which he held Chair Professorships at Monash University, Melbourne, and King's College, University of London. His main research interest is in how to improve the teaching of primary school mathematics and his numerous publications focus on the central importance of reasoning and problem solving in making teaching and learning mathematics an engaging experience for everyone. Mike believes all learners are capable of seeing themselves as mathematicians, given supportive, engaging and challenging teaching.
