COMPETITION NOW CLOSED …
Here we go again! It’s that time of year where I (Seager) takes over Mel’s blog for a limited-edition, ONCE per-annum guest appearance. Yes, that’s correct….Mel has agreed again to dig out her hat!
On Monday 1st July, we will hold the THIRD (yes…third!) JustMaths Conference at the Alton Towers Hotel Conference Centre. We have managed to secure headline sponsorship from OCR, Pearson and AQA who will be on hand all day to support and answer questions. The presenters on the day include Graham Cumming, the duo Craig Barton and Andrew Taylor, Neil Ogden, Clarissa Grandi (artfulmaths.com) and a special guest appearance from the TV legend Johnny Ball (Zoe Ball’s dad for any reader born after 1980!). What a superb opportunity to reflect and plan going forward!
We are determined that our conferences are like no other (ask the 250 who attended last year and the year before!) – we want the day to not only offer key support, a chance to reflect and plan going forward, but to also be a opportunity for teachers (and maybe even whole departments) to join together with a huge sigh of relief after the exams have finished for another year (I personally also want to pick up a load of free pens from the exhibitors!).
And of course… prepare for some twists throughout the day – it is at Alton Towers after all!
To celebrate reaching 25000 followers on Twitter (as I know Mel is too embarrassed to mention it)! we’re giving away 5 pairs of tickets. To be in with a chance of picking up a pair of tickets for your department, by Friday 12th April either:
• Leave a comment on this blog post below or
• Retweet the “pinned” tweet on @Just_Maths Twitter profile page with a link to this blog post or
• Like this post on Facebook or
• Mail mel@justmaths.co.uk (She loves this bit!)
(If you have already booked yourself on to the conference, please do still enter. If you win, we will credit back the cost to your school. Also – if you are not successful in this draw and are planning on booking, please don’t leave it too late – we normally ‘sell out’ by May!).
Good luck all – I’m now getting off Mel’s Blog until 2020.

COMPETITION NOW CLOSED …
Very much looking forward to the conference. It would be great if our department could get some free tickets as our budget would not cover us to all attend.
Would love to win these tickets!
congratulations, it is a huge achievement.
please do add me to that as it will be very helpful for my carrier too.
thank you.
Having Johnny Ball to speak is amazing!!! Well done, it’s going to be fabulous
Love this conference and cannot wait to go this year. Even have booked a room, so see you all there.
Hey – just persuaded the powers that be to allow me to purchase just maths resources next financial year! Heard so many good things about it all and already using your freebies.
Looking forward to the conference and the resources,
Amazing! Would love to come to such a fantastic event.
What an amazingly generous offer. I would love a pair of tickets if lucky enough to be chosen. Thank you.
I would love to win a pair of tickets for me and my friend Sabra who have almost 70 years teaching experience between us but always want to learn more
Brilliant competition idea! Always good to see your new ideas and strategies.
Would love for my name to go in the hat !!! Tickets for me and my friend Sabra who have nearly 70 years teaching experience between us but always want to learn more .
Please enter me for the contest. Thx
I like free stuff Seager, and you know it has been too long since we said hello!
Absolutley loved it last year. Fingers crossed I can come again 🤞🤞🤞
Love the twisty comment about it being at Alton Towers – does that mean a Mobius Twist, perchance? Would love the chance to join you all on the 1st July – if a ticket is going spare?
Could this be the first time I win something mathsy?????? Would love to attend the conference 🙂
It was great being there last year! Hope to persuade the Head to let us go again!
This would be a brilliant opportujitg for two members of my team!
Once again thanks for all your hard work and looking forward to 1st July
Would love to win these tickets.
Thanks for all you do. It would be great to win tickets. We are a two person maths department in a middle school. I would love to surprise the HoD with these. Your resources are amazing.
Would love some tickets for the event! Could we manage to apply some trig to a rollercoaster??
Awesome effort again from the JustMaths team. Would love to join the conference!
Wow that is fantastic to have sooo many followers and fantastically generous to offer free tickets. We have a new head of maths after Easter and it would be absolutely brilliant to have a bonding outing like this to look forward to after gcse’s! Thanks.
Ps i read Mel’s post in her voice (craigs podcast) and don’t seem to have an over ride button for Seager sitting in!
Trudi – this has made me chuckle x
Would love this amazing opportunity, I remember seeing Jonny Ball at a uni conference when i was 15, awesome
Sounds like an amazing conference. I’d love to attend this year. 😃
What’s the worst that can happen?
I would love to attend the conference. Love using the Just Maths resources and find Mel’s blog very reassuring and helpful (we are all in the same boat!).
Lucky enough to attend your first ever conference in 2017, so positive and uplifting; would love to be there this year!!
Have enjoyed the last two conferences and would love to attend this one,
Would be amazing to get to attend! Thanks for all your hard work.
Loved it last year! Never felt so inspired, would love to be able to come again!
Would love to win tickets was brilliant last year. X
