Maths4All & All4Maths!
At GLOW, we believe ALL children can achieve in maths – no matter what their background, experience or individual needs. However, we know that building understanding across the classroom, and enabling every student to feel and believe that they can do maths, can be challenging.That’s why this year’s festival theme is Maths4All & All4Maths! We’ll be exploring some of the latest thinking and approaches that support inclusivity in maths; and how, as educators, you can help drive positive outcomes for everyone in your classroom.
Headliner announced: Professor Alf Coles
We are delighted to announce Alf Coles as this year’s headline act (aka keynote speaker). Alf is a Professor of Mathematics Education at the University of Bristol and co-author of the book, ‘I CAN’T DO MATHS!

Published 14/02/23We're pleased to launch our latest Research & Innovation Work Group (RIWG), 'Characteristics of SEND', led by Alan Edmiston, SEND Advisor & Editor of Equals publication.
What's it all about?
This work group will support teachers and experts to consider how to create an inclusive classroom, in which all learners are engaged in mathematical thinking.By getting involved, you'll be working with like-minded professionals - each with a passion for SEND - to develop and shape ideas and approaches to overcome barriers to mathematical understanding. As part of this group, you will take part in four sessions - including classroom observation of pupils being taught by the Work Group Lead during sessions 1 and 3.
You'll also have the opportunity to explore the recent SEND work, on lesson design and curriculum provision, which has been taking place nationally over the last couple of years; as well as having access to specific materials and guidance designed to support teachers in mainstream, special schools and alternative provision settings.
