Recent years have seen an explosion of scientific evidence showing that there is a different way to learn, lead and live, available to us all. When people take a limitless approach to learning – in learning and in life – different pathways open up, leading to higher, more equitable and more enjoyable achievement. In this session we will consider what this different approach is, thinking about the ways we can teach students mathematics to increase equity, engagement, and achievement. We will see together the beauty of mathematics, across the grades, and learn how to bring that beauty to all students lives.
