Welcome to the home page of the Centre for Teaching Mathematics.

The Centre for Teaching Mathematics is an educational research and resource development group of the University of Plymouth. It is an inter faculty group of staff and research students from the Faculty of Technology and the Faculty of Education. We also welcome others interested in mathematics education as associate members.

Its broad aims are to promote the teaching of mathematics in a way that will motivate students and make the subject interesting. These aims are reflected as the main activities of the Centre:

• research into the teaching and learning of mathematics
• developing new teaching resources and strategies to support the teaching of mathematics
• provision of continuing professional development courses for teachers
• curriculum development
• provision of mathematical activities for groups of students.

These activities cover a wide range of mathematics levels from primary through secondary to higher education reflecting the interests and experiences of those in the Centre.
