Overview

This one day conference, organised jointly by the AMSP and the London Maths Hubs, has a focus on Maths across all the KS5 maths qualifications. We are delighted to have Zoe Griffiths who will deliver the morning keynote speech on 'Marvaellous Matematical Moments'.  There will be opportunities to attend workshops that cover the areas of Core Maths, A Level Maths and Further Maths, as well as opportunities to Network and play with maths.

Zoe Griffiths is a mathematician who travels the UK and internationally giving talks and workshops in schools, at science festivals, teacher conferences and at comedy nights.  Zoe regularly gives talks at Maths Inspiration events, and has talked about maths in places ranging from the Cheltenham Science Festival to BBC Radio 4.  Before entering the world of maths communication, Zoe worked as a classroom maths teacher in secondary schools. It was whilst teaching that she first developed her love for maths communication. After teaching, Zoe took up a position at the Royal Institution (the home of Christmas Lectures) and then began her work with Think Maths in 2017.  Zoe’s favourite number is i and she has been known to bake mathematical cakes and write mathematical poetry. Zoe’s personal website can be found here.

Tea and coffee will be provided, but please bring your own lunch.
