Complete Details

MathsConf40 arrives in Derby as the premier gathering for mathematics educators across the UK. Supported by members and resources from the Association of Teachers of Mathematics (ATM), this intensive one-day conference is designed to rejuvenate classroom practice and inspire pedagogical innovation. The event serves as a vital hub for professional development, bringing together primary teachers, secondary specialists, and researchers to share evidence-based strategies.

The 2026 Derby program features a diverse array of over 20 workshops. Key sessions include "Revisiting Inequalities" by Sam Blatherwick, which explores vertical curriculum alignment from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 5, and "From Knowing to Thinking" by Saskia Roobaert, focusing on building cognitive challenge in learners who struggle to move beyond rote procedures. A significant highlight of this year’s conference is the focus on departmental leadership, with sessions led by experienced headteachers on improving student outcomes and the subject’s profile within schools.

Attendees will also engage with the "Developing Operator Understanding" workshop, which tackles common student misconceptions by treating mathematical symbols as relational structures rather than just instructions for calculation. Beyond the formal sessions, the conference provides a unique "Speed Dating" networking segment, where teachers exchange their most effective "low-prep, high-impact" classroom ideas. The exhibition zone will feature the latest mathematical manipulatives, digital software, and textbooks from leading educational publishers. Whether you are an Early Career Teacher (ECT) looking for foundational routines or a seasoned Head of Maths seeking strategic direction, MathsConf40 offers a collaborative environment to sharpen your skills and reconnect with the joy of teaching mathematics.

Key Event Highlights

Over 20 practitioner-led workshops covering EYFS through to A-Level. Keynote sessions on bridging the gap between mathematical procedural fluency and conceptual thinking. Dedicated "Maths Bites" networking for rapid sharing of classroom resources. Exhibition of the latest ATM-approved teaching resources and digital tools. Focused leadership stream for current and aspiring Heads of Mathematics.
