Understanding the Barriers to Success in Mathematics: Postponed to May 2021

Due to unforeseen circumstances our planned annual conference will now be in May 2021. It will of course still be virtual and delivered via Teams.

The conference was fully booked.

All delegates will be informed of the new date as soon as possible.

The conference is run in alliance with Cornwall Council’s Cognition and Learning Service.

The keynote speaker will be Professor Camilla Gilmore who has kindly donated her time.

Dr. Camilla Gilmore is Professor of Mathematical Cognition in the Centre for Mathematical Cognition at Loughborough University. Her research is focused on understanding how mathematics skills develop and why some children have such difficulties learning mathematics. 

The cost will be much lower than usual, as there will be no venue.

Cost: £10 per person (£5 for parent/carer)

If you would like to join this conference, please contact Dyslexia Cornwall’s Treasurer (Ruth Symons) on treasurer@dyslexiacornwall.org.uk
