5th International Conference on Developing Mathematical Resilience

Background

The Mathematical Resilience Network was launched in 2022 at theÌýÌýwith the intention of supporting academic and practitioner research and practice that uses the Mathematical Resilience Framework in addressing mathematics anxiety.

The 91ÇÑ×Ó, through theÌýÌý will host the fifth International Conference on Developing Mathematical Resilience. The Conference will be held onÌýJuly 8 -10, 2026. It will anchor onÌýopportunities and challenges of developing sustainable mathematical and statistical resilience.ÌýThe focus areas will be on policy, multidisciplinary collaboration and partnerships; research, curriculum innovation and pedagogical Practices; integrating technology and digital tools; equity, access, diversity and inclusion; and Institutional support for sustainable mathematical and statistical development

The conference will feature papers from researchers, academics, teachers and from those who work with people of any age who are learning mathematics. Having mathematical resilience enables people to overcome barriers that learning mathematics presents. Research papers will focus on overcoming mathematics anxiety, which is prevalent globally, and to help learners know how to protect their wellbeing and still learn mathematics. All the papers in this conference will be research-based to showcase how mathematical resilience is making an impact in learning environments from higher education to schools and in homes, in countries across the world.Ìý
