Practitioner Research in Mathematics Education (PRiME) 2023

21 Jan 2023

The aim of the Practitioner Research in Mathematics Education (PRiME) event is to provide a supportive platform for teachers of mathematics in early years, primary, secondary, further education or higher education to share their classroom research projects about any aspects of mathematics teaching and learning with fellow practitioners. The event also aims to develop practitioners’ research skills through a keynote talk, workshops and presentations by fellow practitioners. We are delighted that Dr Nancy Barclay, our keynote speaker, will share her experiences of close-to-practice research. The day is organised by the BERA Mathematics Education SIG in collaboration with the British Society for Research in Learning Mathematics (BSRLM).
