An international collaboration in Ghana is sparking excitement among students and educators about the future of STEM.
Problem of the Week, CEMC’s global initiative providing problem resources at five different levels to educators every week has crossed a subscriber base of 50,000.
In this tribute, we celebrate Ron’s life, honour his legacy, and remember him for the many ways in which he enriched our lives and the lives of countless others.
The HTTMC Conference in Ghana brought together over 300 secondary school mathematics educators, providing new teaching methods, strategies, and technologies to make math enjoyable for students, leaving teachers inspired and motivated with new knowledge and skills to apply in their teaching.
Two longstanding members of the Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing (CEMC) - Edwin Anderson and Steven Furino, have been named Honorary Members of the University of Waterloo at the 2023 Spring Convocation for their exceptional dedication and contributions to mathematics education.
For over 50 years, mathematics educators from across Canada have united with the Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing (CEMC) to mark contests and improve their teaching skills.
The CEMC partners with Indigenous educators and students worldwide and emphasizes exploring mathematics with real-world connections through "Problems with Purpose," a collection of hands-on mathematics questions for high school students.
Mathematics intersects with various disciplines, allowing mathematicians to collaborate with professionals in fields such as medicine, chemistry, and psychology to address real-world questions and make a tangible difference.
Director Ian VanderBurgh discusses the growing influence of mathematics in the digital age, emphasizing its essential role in technology and its relevance to daily life.
On April 8, 2024, the Moon's shadow will sweep across a relatively narrow strip of the Earth's surface. To be in the right place at the right time for such an event, a solar eclipse, is quite rare. Here in Waterloo, Ontario, we will be treated to a partial eclipse of the Sun during this event. However, one does not need to travel far from Waterloo (e.g., Niagara Falls) to get into the path of totality to observe a total solar eclipse. In the path of totality, the Moon will - if only for a few minutes - completely block out the Sun making it possible to observe the Sun's magnificent corona.
Problem of the Week (POTW) is a resource that is designed to provide students with an ongoing opportunity to work on solving mathematics problems.
