Welcome to Think Maths
Think Maths visit schools to run workshops and give talks for a wide range of ages and abilities.
Our sessions are interactive, engaging and cover mathematical content which will grab the attention of students and inspire them to get excited about maths. We show students the wider world of maths beyond school while giving them a chance to develop invaluable mathematical thinking skills. Our aim is to inspire students to be more motivated in normal lessons.
See our sessions page for more details of our schools visits. We are now also taking bookings for virtual talks.
We also occasionally make free resources for teachers and run free projects / competitions.

Testimonial: “I still talk about your presentation all the time. I really found it inspiring for me as a teacher, and truly entertaining.”

About us
Think Maths was founded by Matt Parker, the Stand-Up Mathematician.
As a former teacher Matt started Think Maths to go into schools and deliver engaging talks. Matt is now a YouTuber with more than a million subscribers and a best-selling maths author.
Unfortunately, Matt is no longer able to do schools work but has passed all the talks and ideas on to Zoe (see below) so the mathematical fun can continue!
Think Maths is now run by Zoe Griffiths.
Zoe worked for Matt on Think Maths between 2017 and 2023. In 2023, Matt handed Think Maths over to Zoe to run as her own.
Like Matt, Zoe started out as a classroom maths teacher and is now an experienced maths speaker, giving talks at schools in the UK and internationally, at large scale events such as Maths Inspiration, teacher conferences, science festivals and comedy nights. Zoe was recently featured on the YouTube channel Numberphile.
A variety of maths speakers have been involved in Think Maths in the past, but Zoe is currently the only speaker available to be booked.
