 It's about the people that you meet here, it's all about that sharing and talking with other people about their experience. I've been to several conferences before, we tend to come each year actually because it's a good opportunity to come and share and meet up with people, colleagues from around the country. The advantage of the ATM is that there's no real agenda behind it, there's no pathway that they're trying to coerce you to go to follow. Instead it's looking at just an opportunity to share mathematical ideas, pedagogical ideas, opportunity to discuss with people from all different aspects of the education profession that you can directly take back to your own school, implement in ways or just to think of things for the future. What's been really amazing about the ATM conference has been that community of individuals that make it really special. I've been to all sorts of conferences in all sorts of different fields and in the last sort of day and a half I've just made connections, really quite deep connections with individuals that have a real kind of a shared goal and a shared passion for mathematics. It's full of genuine people who want to make a genuine difference. How do you engage learners into mathematics? How do you get them hooked in? For me ATM has that as a really strong focus. I've done some really amazing activities. I really enjoyed the trial and also some of the things I've been to where we've made shapes and people maths was really good. You meet so many people, you get loads of new ideas and everything has been really beneficial. The highlight was meeting all these people who are so passionate about the maths and teaching of mathematics. I mean this is a conference where teachers are teaching other teachers. You can't have anything better than that I think. It's not about money, it's about learning.
