Mathematics Teachers’ Conference 2024

About the event

Join us at the annual King’s Mathematics Teachers’ Conference for a day of exciting speakers and discussions on supporting and engaging pupils in the maths classroom and beyond. Due to the success of previous events, we are expanding the event to a full day for 2024. 

This in-person event in central London is open to mathematics teachers from London and beyond, as well as graduate students interested in maths education.  This is an opportunity to discuss teaching best-practice with peers from across London, and also learn from academic staff from the Mathematics department here at King's.

If the conference is over-subscribed, we will prioritise places to maths teachers at schools that meet the following criteria:
•    State secondary school or college
•    Non-selective secondary school, or sixth form college
•    Higher proportion of students eligible for Free School Meals

Register now by completing this online form.

Deadline: Please complete the application form by Tuesday 30 April.

We will offer places by Monday 13 May, and you will have until Friday 31 May to confirm attendance.  Any places not confirmed by this date will be offered to the waiting list.
