Speaker: Charlie Stripp MBE - Chief Executive, MEI, NCETM National Director and President, The Mathematical Association
Maths education has never been more important to individuals or to society. There are some successes to celebrate, but there are also some key challenges that are limiting our ability to improve maths education in the UK, in particular:
• Public attitudes to maths and maths education
• A chronic shortage of secondary maths teachers
• A poor track record of using technology to enhance teaching and learning in mathematics
Charlie will discuss these challenges and what might be done to address them. He will also share some nice maths problems!
When: 9th October
Time: 7pm for 7.30pm start

The humble sheet of paper has almost infinite mathematical potential. Join mathematician Katie Steckles as she demonstrates some of her favourite mathematical concepts and shares some puzzles using both real and imaginary pieces of paper. Materials will be provided to join in from your seat, as Katie reveals the mathematical secrets hiding in household stationery.
Katie Steckles is a mathematician based in Manchester, who gives talks and workshops and writes about mathematics. She finished her PhD in 2011, and since then has talked about maths at universities, schools events, festivals, on BBC radio and TV, in books and on the internet.
The W. P. Milne lecture is included in the Key Stage 5 Maths Day at the University of Leeds. Visit www.stem.leeds.ac.uk/ks5mathsday for more details.
