SDA May Conference – Wednesday 23rd May 2018 Dr Camilla Gilmore
Understanding the Barriers to Success in Maths
Speaker: Dr Camilla Gilmore (Camilla delivered the Keynote Address at the Patoss Annual Conference in 2014)
It is widely acknowledged that many students, including those with dyslexia, find mathematics a challenging subject and that lack of numeracy skills can impact upon subsequent job opportunities and quality of life. One reason for this is that mathematics is a complex subject that draws upon a range of different skills.
Dr Camilla Gilmore is a Reader in Mathematical Cognition in the Mathematics Education Centre at Loughborough University. She is a developmental psychologist who has previously held positions at Oxford, Harvard and Nottingham. Her research is focused on understanding how mathematics skills develop and dyscalculia.
