Helping Teachers Teach Mathematics Conference – HTTMC
One major objective of AIMS Ghana as a UNESCO Category II Centre of Excellence is to provide training and professional development in the Mathematical Sciences for high school teachers across Africa. In line with this, AIMS Ghana in collaboration with the Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing (CEMC) at the University of Waterloo, Canada is organizing a conference on Helping Teachers Teach Mathematics and Computing.
The goal of the conference is to provide current teachers in Africa with the opportunity to expand their knowledge on how to teach mathematics foundations of the core high school curricula. It is also aimed to expose them to new ways of teaching and applying modern mathematics. Most talks in the conference include tasks that will be directly applicable to daily classroom teaching. The conference will also challenge the teachers to brainstorm creative and dynamic ways of transmitting their knowledge to students.
The AIMS Ghana – CEMC Helping Teachers Teach Mathematics Conference (HTTMC) 4th Edition, will be held at the University of Ghana from 19th – 22nd of May 2026. This blended (online/in-person) conference for Mathematics teachers is an opportunity to bring educators together to share their knowledge and expertise, help build new connections and tap into a renewed enthusiasm for mathematics and computing.
