Fundamentally Fix Maths Education
The Computer-Based Maths (CBM) Education Summit has become the major focal point for a fundamental worldwide change to mathematics education and its integration with coding.
Our fourth Computer-Based Maths Education Summit was a huge success, with speakers and delegates from all over the world engaging in a selection of panels, debates and interactive sessions over the two conference days at the Royal Institution of Great Britain.
With a growing collection of exciting materials and an increasing base of international projects demonstrating real impact, this year's summit explored how CBM can be embedded in a practical way into the maths ecosystem—including primary, secondary and adult education.
