Languages: English

Website: https://www.math.uwo.ca/outreach/western_mathematics_exposition_competition/index.html

Contact Info: aghorba@uwo.ca, Asghar Ghorbanpour

Detailed Description:

In this competition, we aim to foster interest in higher mathematics among high school students and offer an opportunity for students to experience learning beyond the high school curriculum and practicing skills for mathematical research.

Enthusiastic high school students from grades 9 to 12 to participate are invited to attend this competition. Students join as a team of 2-3 students and work under supervision of a mentor to research one of the announced themes and develop a poster, a video, or a mathematical artifact.

High school teachers, teacher candidates from the Faculty of Education, and senior undergraduate students from Western University can register as mentors for the teams. Each mentor primarily serve as a supervisor and help their team identify a topic of interest, ensure their teams stay on the right track and assist them with time management and meeting deadlines, verify that the submitted projects meet the requirements, submit the final project; the submission link will only be available to the team mentors.  The estimated time commitment for mentoring each team is 7-10 hours.

Every year, a dedicated category is announced to promote the achievements of mathematicians from under-represented groups. This special category honors individuals who creatively articulate the contributions of Black mathematicians to the field of mathematics. If your project, covering one of the above four themes, also includes the special topic and this contribution is properly explained in your work, your team will be (automatically) qualified to compete in this special category which has a separate $500 award for the winning team.

Many of our problems interact with technologies such as Desmos. Our counsellors are Queen’s students, grads and undergrads, who give the students a real campus summer experience. Our target audience are students entering grades 9, 10 and 11.

The camp typically runs end of July/beginning of August, and we have a residential option—students can stay in the Queen’s residences. These are right on the Lake Ontario waterfront, a marvelous place to spend a few late summer days. There is a bursary program which can pay a portion of the costs but of course the total funds available are limited.

High school teachers, teacher candidates from the Faculty of Education, and senior undergraduate students from Western University can register as mentors for the teams. Each mentor primarily serve as a supervisor and help their team identify a topic of interest, ensure their teams stay on the right track and assist them with time management and meeting deadlines, verify that the submitted projects meet the requirements, submit the final project; the submission link will only be available to the team mentors.  The estimated time commitment for mentoring each team is 7-10 hours.

Every year, a dedicated category is announced to promote the achievements of mathematicians from under-represented groups. This special category honors individuals who creatively articulate the contributions of Black mathematicians to the field of mathematics. If your project, covering one of the above four themes, also includes the special topic and this contribution is properly explained in your work, your team will be (automatically) qualified to compete in this special category which has a separate $500 award for the winning team.

Many of our problems interact with technologies such as Desmos. Our counsellors are Queen’s students, grads and undergrads, who give the students a real campus summer experience. Our target audience are students entering grades 9, 10 and 11.

The camp typically runs end of July/beginning of August, and we have a residential option—students can stay in the Queen’s residences. These are right on the Lake Ontario waterfront, a marvelous place to spend a few late summer days. There is a bursary program which can pay a portion of the costs but of course the total funds available are limited.

High school teachers, teacher candidates from the Faculty of Education, and senior undergraduate students from Western University can register as mentors for the teams. Each mentor primarily serve as a supervisor and help their team identify a topic of interest, ensure their teams stay on the right track and assist them with time management and meeting deadlines, verify that the submitted projects meet the requirements, submit the final project; the submission link will only be available to the team mentors.  The estimated time commitment for mentoring each team is 7-10 hours.

Every year, a dedicated category is announced to promote the achievements of mathematicians from under-represented groups. This special category honors individuals who creatively articulate the contributions of Black mathematicians to the field of mathematics. If your project, covering one of the above four themes, also includes the special topic and this contribution is properly explained in your work, your team will be (automatically) qualified to compete in this special category which has a separate $500 award for the winning team.

Detailed Description:

At the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at Western University, we are committed to nurturing a deep appreciation for mathematics and empowering educators to inspire the next generation of mathematicians. We are excited to introduce our outreach program tailored for high-school and primary teachers.

In tandem with our existing outreach programs aimed at students, our focus has expanded to strengthen relationships with math teachers in our community. The Math Teachers’ Enrichment program is designed to enhance and broaden the mathematical knowledge and teaching skills of math educators. As we recognize the crucial role teachers play in shaping students’ mathematical journeys, this program is our way of supporting and empowering them with the tools they need to excel in their classrooms.

The Structure of Sessions:

This series will run in the form of two-hour-long session meetings. Each session will comprise two primary segments, with the flexibility to explore additional ideas:

Mathematics Talks: During this segment, a member of the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences will deliver a math talk designed to spark interest in exploring new areas and fields within mathematics. These talks will also showcase captivating expansions on topics at present covered in classroom instruction, and share compelling mathematical history and stories.

Math Learning and Teaching Dialogue: In this part, we will actively encourage teachers to voice their concerns regarding their students’ learning experiences and teaching methods or participate in discussions on math in university classes.

The program is run by the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences and it is supported by the Canadian Mathematics Society through the Endowment Grants.

Contact Info: aghorba@uwo.ca , Asghar Ghorbanpour

Detailed Description:

In this competition, we aim to foster interest in higher mathematics among high school students and offer an opportunity for students to experience learning beyond the high school curriculum and practicing skills for mathematical research.

Enthusiastic high school students from grades 9 to 12 to participate are invited to attend this competition. Students join as a team of 2-3 students and work under supervision of a mentor to research one of the announced themes and develop a poster, a video, or a mathematical artifact.

High school teachers, teacher candidates from the Faculty of Education, and senior undergraduate students from Western University can register as mentors for the teams. Each mentor primarily serve as a supervisor and help their team identify a topic of interest, ensure their teams stay on the right track and assist them with time management and meeting deadlines, verify that the submitted projects meet the requirements, submit the final project; the submission link will only be available to the team mentors.  The estimated time commitment for mentoring each team is 7-10 hours.

Every year, a dedicated category is announced to promote the achievements of mathematicians from under-represented groups. This special category honors individuals who creatively articulate the contributions of Black mathematicians to the field of mathematics. If your project, covering one of the above four themes, also includes the special topic and this contribution is properly explained in your work, your team will be (automatically) qualified to compete in this special category which has a separate $500 award for the winning team.
