Conferences

BSRLM holds conferences as follows:

BSRLM Day Conference: 3 a year (Spring, Summer and Autumn)

The Day Conference, which is about research into the teaching and learning of mathematics, can involve the following:  

• Plenary presentation by an invited speaker

• 40-minute research presentations (20–25-minute presentation, followed by 15-20 minutes of chaired questions/discussion)  

• 40-minute interactive workshops with a focus on critical engagement and discussion 

• Working groups: Groups established, sustained and run by members with a shared interest in a specific aspect/phase of research in mathematics learning. All members can attend working groups, and these are good for meeting fellow researchers with a common interest. 

• Open Forum (Summer Day Conference) and Annual General Meeting (Autumn Conference)

New Researchers' Day: Summer Term 

The New Researchers' Day offers a friendly and supportive opportunity for new researchers to present and discuss research into the teaching and learning of mathematics. ‘New’ in the title is open to your interpretation: the day is intended for research students, post doc researchers, newly appointed lecturers (perhaps those starting in research) and anyone who thinks ‘this sounds good’. ‘Mathematics’ in BSRLM should be regarded widely and researchers in education whose research has a strong but not exclusive connection with mathematics are very welcome. 

We invite proposals for 40-minute research presentations (20–25-minute presentation, followed by 15-20 minutes of chaired questions/discussion)  

The conference also involves presentations from guest speakers to support aspects of research into mathematics learning. 

Conferences typically run between 10:00 (registration from 10am) and 16:00 on the relevant day.
