MathsConf4

Wow is the first word that comes to mind to summarise #MathsConf4, which was held in the beautiful and amazing venue of the Grand Connaught Rooms in London. This is my second maths conference event and I came away feeling reinvigorated and truly inspired. Unfortunately I didn't get to go see everything I would of liked because there were too many amazing workshops I wanted to attend. However to me this is the sign of an 'outstanding' conference, when it is hard to make a decision on workshops because they all look amazing.

It feels like going off to university all over again, but maybe part of my attachment issue is because the school I've just left was the school I went to as child.

National Numeracy Crisis

Facts

It is said that over 17 million people in the UK are innumerate and the yearly cost to the economy is estimated at £30 billion. This figure is comparable to literacy with only 5 million people being seen as illiterate. Poor numeracy skills have been estimated to cost the government £2.4 billion each year, however the current government has only invest £89 million into the national numeracy crisis. This may seem like a significant chunk of money, but when compared to the £5 billion invested into literacy education this hardly seems proportionate.
