5th IMA MATHS WORKS
Friday 15th October 2010
Royal Statistical Society, London
Building on the success of previous conferences in this series, Maths
Works 5 focuses on helping
teachers incorporate workplace related learning opportunities into their
classroom practice. In
addition it is also hoped that there are opportunities for teachers to
see at first hand examples of
mathematical use in the workplace.
The conference is being organised by Chris Belsom (past ACME member, and
Head of Mathematics,
Ampleforth College) and Garrod Musto (MEI Industry Committee, and Head
of Mathematics,
Kingswood School, Bath).
Speakers from previous conferences have considered how mathematics is
used in the information
industry, in the automotive industry, in weather forecasting and in
transportation & defence. In
addition there have been opportunities for teachers to explore how
initiatives such as Functional
Maths will impact on their teaching, and helpful sessions from members
of National Centre for
Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics' (NCETM) regional team, and
More Maths Grads provided
excellent ideas to encourage work related learning into the classroom
setting.
This is a one-day conference, and will be of particular interest to LEA
advisers, mathematics
consultants and teachers of mathematics, in both schools and colleges,
who seek to broaden their
knowledge and understanding of the many exciting and interesting
applications of mathematics. It
will provide an opportunity for those present to explore how mathematics
is used in the workplace
and how teachers might exploit this to stimulate further interest in
mathematics in their classes.
The conference is open to both members and non-members of the IMA.
