The BEA/DAL Math Camp offers African-Nova Scotian junior high school youth, a math-based real university experience, to open doorways to STEM careers. The campers are broken into two groups that change between Mathematics sessions and Coding sessions. Each session has a black high school teacher paired with a university teacher as instructors. A puzzle-based approach is proposed for the Math sessions. In these sessions campers will explore topics like logic puzzles, counting based card tricks, binary numbers & error correcting…

This week-long day camp is an opportunity for students entering grades 5 or 6 in the Annapolis Valley to participate in fun and enriching science-based activities with Acadia faculty and students to develop their curiosity and enjoyment of mathematics, statistics, and computer science. It represents an important piece of a multi-year plan to develop the mathematics skills of young students in the Annapolis Valley by bringing young students into the Acadia University outreach program. This will begin the process of…

The Dalhousie Math Camp is an annual event, held for one week in early July. We will accept 20 participants into the program, 10 female and 10 male, that are entering eleventh or twelfth grade in the following school year. We reach out to schools across Nova Scotia and ask for nominations of two students that are enthusiastic and hard working. The students stay and have their meals at the dormitories at Dalhousie for a week and attend seminars in…

The Integration Competition is a fun, head-to-head competition among first-year calculus students to solve integrals, with the winners of each matchup progressing to further rounds until a winner emerges. Participants challenge themselves to solve integral problems on-the-spot, and in addition to generating interest and excitement in mastering this mathematical skill, the event is used to promote mathematics more broadly to potential majors.

Competition among UPEI Calculus Students to evaluate integrals the fastest.

For more than 20 years, the School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences (SMCS), UPEI has hosted a Math Camp for students in grades 10 and 11 from PEI high schools. The Math Camp is the SMCS’s primary outreach effort. Its goals are to give some of PEI’s best students an opportunity to broaden their mathematical horizons beyond what they see in their course work, and to encourage them to continue their math studies at university.

40th Annual New Brunswick Mathematics Competition for Grades 7, 8 and 9 The provincial New Brunswick Math Competition is a bilingual math competition that takes place in May each year. Students in grades 7-9 from across the province (approximately 1,300 students) attend one of five university locations to simultaneously write the one-hour math competition. There are three competition papers according to grade; each available in both English and French. Following the competition in the morning, students attend enrichment activities held…

With support from the Canadian Mathematical Society and the Atlantic Association for Research in the Mathematical Sciences, the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of New Brunswick (Fredericton) hosts a three-day, two-night Math Camp. The camp gives a select number of Grade 10 students who are keenly interested in mathematics the opportunity to come stay on the Fredericton Campus, meet fellow students from across the province who share a love of mathematics, and enjoy solving challenging problems together,…
