IMA International Conference on

Barriers and Enablers to Learning Maths:

Enhancing Learning and Teaching for All Learners

This is the first international conference of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) about approaches to teaching and learning mathematics.  Mathematics here covers all aspects, including number, pure mathematics, applied mathematics, statistics and the full range of applications of mathematics.
