Inside Maths shows are interactive, engaging, maths enrichment events (half day shows or full day events) for year 5-8 students and their teachers.

Inside Maths is the brain child of maths communicator Zoe Griffiths. Inside Maths is run through Think Maths (Zoe’s main organisation).

Zoe has spent many years working on maths events aimed at older secondary students (such as Maths Inspiration and Maths Fest). Zoe realised that the ‘middle school years’ (years 5-8) students were missing out, and so created Inside Maths!
