Each day this week we are previewing Bett, the dynamic, education technology show in London, England that attracts hundreds of educators from America each year. For all those visitors to Bett with a particular interest in the teaching of K12 math should take time before their visit to search the www.bettshow.com website for all related areas of interest. 

For example, in the Bett Arena on Thursday 22nd January at 13:00, key educator and tech industry experts will be discussing the opportunities and challenges of big data. They will be debating how the huge potential of big data and personalized education can be realized, addressing reading and math’s proficiency, reducing student drop outs, and supporting teacher engagement whilst addressing privacy and trust concerns. 

On the following day, Friday 23rd January at 14:30 pupils from Woodlands Primary Academy and Tim Handley, ICT & Maths Lead will be virtually joined by children from around the world.  In the session they will share how they use technology to enhance and extend learning as well as motivate and engage learners and parents in and out of school.  They will also talk about their visions for the future and share their ideas for technology can enhance learning.  ‘Learners Voice - Technology beyond computing’ will also be held in the Bett Arena presentation area of the show.

Alongside these popular sessions in the Bett Arena, we also recommend you look at the LearnLive program.

One example of a math session will be when Peter Esperanza from Barstow High School shares his experience of developing ‘Improved Attitudes Toward Maths In A Flipped Class.’ This will be held at 15:30 on Thursday 22nd January. This study sought to determine the extent to which high school students attitudes toward math changed during the course of their math class, delivered via the flipped classroom model. This study examined how the implementation of flipped classroom affects the students’ self-confidence, motivation, enjoyment, and value of math.

Once you have registered online for your space at the sessions of your choice (remember entry to Bett and all seminars are free of charge) we then recommend you take time to visit the 600+ exhibitors all showing their latest, most innovative learning solutions.

For example, in booth G503 visitors will be able to try out the Flurrish numeracy app which enables timestable and number bond practise. This engaging app is focused upon the essentials of math in order to maximize pupil achievement and confidence.

Moving on to booth B329 Hungarian company MOZAIK Education will be in the Norwegian Classroom; in the Norwegian EdTech Pavilion area of the show floor. 

MOZAIK Education is the leading provider of the most widely used interactive educational software in Hungary. Established by software developers and mathematicians 25 years ago, its digital educational solution consists of an interactive board software for in-class teaching, a web platform for home-learning, a content bank with 3D animations, videos and tools for all K-12 subjects and a school administration system.

Another company located in the Norwegian EdTech Pavilion on booth B466, is Kikora, suppliers of the leading Scandinavian software for math instruction. Kikora enables students to learn and teachers to teach math more effectively through immediate step by step feedback, it includes more than 25,000 exercises from 5th grade through high school with proven learning result and a money back guarantee!


EducationCity is always a favourite at Bett with engaging resources designed for children aged between 3-12 years. EducationCity’s interactive activities cover all areas of the curriculum including math, and is mapped to the worldwide curricula. EducationCity will be on booth D300.

A very popular area of Bett will undoubtedly be the Apple Solution Expert Village on booth F140. They will be hosting a number of scheduled presentations, including “Bringing maths lessons to life with iPad” at midday on each day of Bett. During this specific presentation, Andrew Rhodes who was until recently director of technology at the International School of Stavanger will be looking at a variety of ways to make math more engaging for students of all ages.

If math is your area of focus, please visit the www.bettshow.com website to see all seminar sessions and exhibitors and join your fellow educators to celebrate the excitement of technology in education!
