Practitioner Research in Mathematics Education (PRiME)
Online registration has now closed. If you want to attend this event, please email events@bera.ac.uk for details of how to register onsite.
The aim of the Practitioner Research in Mathematics Education (PRiME) event is to provide a platform for EYFS-KS5 mathematics teachers 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.
The day is organised and supported by BERA Special Interest Group on Mathematics Education, in collaboration with the British Society for Research in Learning Mathematics (BSRLM) and The Mathematical Association (MA).
