We’re delighted to receive this funding, enabling us to create OpenMath labs giving students dynamic and practical ways to engage with mathematics, including remote collaborative projects, gamified explorations of abstract concepts, and the analysis of environmental experiments.
🎓 CaMS is delighted to announce the 5 universities who were successful in their applications to share a £2.5m pot to create "next-gen" degrees as part of Maths Degrees for the Future.

The number of students taking maths at university has stagnated despite A Level entries reaching record numbers, surpassing 100,00 young people (and the most popular subject for 10 years).
Why do you think this is?
Shared my thoughts with The Times.

"Maths underpins most of the challenges we face today."
@sophiemacmaths, PGR in Mathematics, shared her insights on @channel5_tv about the crucial role of maths in our lives 🧮✨ The UK's first ever Maths Summit was a critical leap in demonstrating that to the world, she said.

With the brilliant host of the Maths Summit @aimafidon
I'm on a panel and we're asking the audience:
1. What word(s) would YOU use to describe maths?
2. What word do you think the public would use to describe maths?
