GETTING INVOLVED
Our student club is connected to and supported by the Math Outreach Department at UofT, a department who has been organizing these activities for years! School visits are run by students that participate in teacher training prior to leading these activities by qualified educators! The activities will be oriented to the grade and level of the class. The purpose of these school visits is to teach students areas where math can be applied through fun and interactive activities. Activities will connect to school curriculum in some instances, however, our goal is to motivate students and push their understanding of the subject.
​
For student who want to get involved with the School Visits (as an instructor), you must provide us with a Vulnerable Screening Sector. Click here for the process of getting that done!
If you are a teacher and interested in having your classroom participate in one of our school visits, please visit the Math+ School Visits Website here.

OISE Pop-Up Event
This year IAAM launched a new initiative in partnership with OISE, a pop-up event to help teacher candidates refresh their math skills. Volunteers worked with the OISE students with the primary goal of building their confidence and comfort level with mathematics. After all, a confident teacher leads to a confident class and that leads to successful and passionate students.
​
We can confidently say that the event was a huge success, we loved meeting so many people who were so amazingly passionate about education; and the OISE students had a great time picking up some new mathematical skills.

Count Me In
The Count Me In Math Club is run by the The Department of Mathematics via the Math Outreach Department. It is directed towards elementary school students who fear math or find it difficult. We hope to change their attitude towards it and build their confidence in Math. In it's second year of running, the Count me in Math Club targets several schools in Toronto, working with kids and adolescents on a range of math topics that they might not see in their everyday classes, in hopes to build their interest in Mathematics.
