The potential and challenges for mathematics teaching & learning in
the digital age

Prof Dame Celia Hoyles, UCL Institute of Education, President IMA

Thursday 23 April 2015 19.00 for 19.30

There is widespread acceptance that mathematics is important, even
vital, for an individual and for society. Those who disagree tend to
argue that the subject is boring and irrelevant. It is therefore
crucial that mathematics teaching strives to engage all learners at
all levels, but without sacrificing the rigour of the subject. In this
talk, I will argue that one way to achieve both rigour and broader
access to mathematics lies with using appropriately designed digital
technology. I will illustrate my argument with examples from research
and practice.

This event is free of charge and open to all, with refreshments at
19.00, lecture at 19:30.
