Promoting innovation in math education

Ontario Colleges Mathematics Association

2026 Conference

Mathematics is as much an aspect of culture as it is a collection of algorithms

Carl Benjamin Boyer

Celebrate the community as the root of mathematics at Fern Resort, Orillia from May 20 – May 22, 2026 for the Annual OCMA Conference and discover how numeracy-based educators:

  • build a math culture in your classroom;
  • help students strengthen the roots that support foundational knowledge;
  • humanize algorithms and techniques for practical use; and
  • foster a community of educational professionals in your program, department, or college.

Presentations include:

  • Math history stories that spark engagement
  • Student success in foundational math
  • Creating a community of numeracy
  • Sneaking fun into serious math
  • Math assessment for humans
