First Call to November Conference

Writing about web page http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/ces/research/current/mathematicsresilience

Today, we have issued a Formal Invitation to take part in an international conference focussed on what is being done to address mathematics anxiety and avoidance, and to promote mathematical resilience, in learners at home, at school and at work.

We will be offering a platform for any contributor to share a paper or a video virtually, in addition to the option to attend face-to-face. Do consider asking your local school, authority, employer, MP, Union what they are doing to change the mathematics culture around them.

People who have had previous bad experiences of mathematics which are holding them back from progress (over 30% in UK) need access to support and a change of Mindset.

Clare and I have had a chapter published about mathematical resilience in the 2015 Routledge International Handbook of Dyscalculia and Mathematical Learning Difficulties. The chapter gives an overview of the scope of the construct mathematical resilience in helping practitioners pull together a broad base of international research into a pragmatic approach to solving the 'mathematics problem'.
