Conferences

BSRLM conferences bring together people interested in research into the teaching and learning of mathematics. We normally hold three day conferences each year, in spring, summer and autumn, alongside a summer New Researchers’ Day.

What to expect

Conferences typically run from 10:00 to 16:30 and include:

• Presentations by invited speakers.
• Research presentations lasting 40 minutes, with 20 to 25 minutes for presenting and 15 to 20 minutes for chaired questions and discussion.
• Interactive workshops lasting 40 minutes, focused on critical engagement and discussion.
• Working groups led by members with shared research interests. All members are welcome to attend.
• An Open Forum at the summer conference and the Annual General Meeting at the autumn conference.

Leone Burton New Researchers’ Day

This summer event provides a friendly, supportive opportunity to present and discuss research into the teaching and learning of mathematics.

It welcomes research students, postdoctoral researchers, newly appointed lecturers and anyone who considers themselves a new researcher. Researchers whose work has a strong connection with mathematics education are also welcome, even if mathematics is not their sole focus.

We invite proposals for research presentations using the 40 minute format described above. Guest speakers also offer guidance on aspects of mathematics education research.
