DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Abi Bown (Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI
 ))\nTitle: Deprivation and student progress in mathematics\nAbstract: In
  this talk I will present recent data on deprivation and student progres
 s in mathematics\, particularly looking at the key transition points of 
 students choosing to do A Level maths and students choosing to do a degr
 ee in maths. I'll also give a brief summary of initiatives that are taki
 ng place to try and counter this. It wouldn't be much fun if we didn't a
 ctually do some maths - so I'll bring some examples of activities design
 ed to promote some of the elements of 'Maths Mastery' (an approach that 
 is being promoted in maths teachers from primary and beyond) and some qu
 estions showing the evolution of a topic from GCSE through A Level to Un
 iversity admissions tests!
