Shaping the future of maths education

As the world rapidly evolves, so does the way we teach and learn mathematics. In this dynamic landscape, technology is redefining how students engage with maths concepts and equipping them with skills that extend far beyond the classroom.

Embracing advances in technology

In the next few years, technology is set to play an increasingly prominent role in maths education. Interactive simulations, virtual reality environments, and AI-driven adaptive learning platforms are revolutionizing the way maths is taught. These innovations offer immersive experiences that allow students to visualise abstract concepts, experiment with mathematical phenomena, and engage in hands-on problem-solving. With the power of technology, maths education becomes more engaging, personalised, and accessible, catering to diverse learning preferences and paces.

Webinar: EdTech: It’s not just for reading and writing

Originally recorded as part of our Mission Maths virtual event, Primary Maths Education Specialist Alex Box will share with you some fun, educational tools for maths learning. These digital tools are free to use and easily accessible, and provide a playful context for applying and developing number sense. She'll demonstrate how you might interact with these tools in a classroom setting, and showcase how modelling curiosity for your students can encourage critical thinking and lessen maths anxiety.

Skills for tomorrow, today

The skills cultivated through maths education are becoming more vital than ever as we navigate a rapidly changing world. Critical thinking, logical reasoning, and problem-solving, are foundational skills that extend beyond maths itself. These skills empower students to analyse complex situations, make informed decisions, and innovate across various disciplines. In an era dominated by data, mathematical literacy is essential for interpreting information, making predictions, and contributing to evidence-based solutions.
