MathsFest started in 2010 as a brainchild of Cork IMTA in response to teachers need for more information about project maths, the new maths syllabus for 2nd level schools in Ireland. The 1st MathsFest took place on Nov 2010 with an attendance of over 200 delegates and various trade stands and speakers. Our 2nd MathsFest took place on Oct 2011 with 300 delegates and consisted of a bigger programme of speakers and trade stands.
MathsFest 2012 moves to a new venue in UCC allowing for up to 500 delegates to attend and more speakers and trade stands on the day. It also incorporates the national conference of IMTA. Further to this, a social aspect will be an attractive addition to the event with a banquet on the Friday night.
MathsFest is organised by the Irish Mathematics Teachers' Association, Cork branch. The Director of MathsFest is Edward Williamson and committee consists of Brendan O'Sullivan, Mary Sheahan, Jerry McCarthy, Janet Cotter and Eoghan O'Leary.
