5th Annual Calculus Instruction in Atlantic Canada Conference
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together high school and university instructors from across the Atlantic region to discuss evidence-based pedagogy and innovative instructional methodologies used in introductory calculus courses. From these discussions, we aim to better understand the needs of students in our region, and develop course structures and resources which address these needs in our universities and high schools. This year the focus topic is "Expressing Mathematics in a Meaningful Way". Students often have difficulty communicating…

Black Educators’ Association – Dalhousie Math Camp
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…

The goals of the summer school are two-fold. First, to introduce students to research level mathematics and second, to encourage more female and female-identifying students to pursue graduate school in the mathematical sciences. The research theme of the 2024 summer school will be Combinatorial Commutative Algebra, as described below. By introducing the advanced mathematics in a supportive and engaging environment, we aim to give students the tools and the support structure that will enable them to thrive in graduate school.
