Mathematics/Teaching is a co-op program that provides more classroom experience than any other B.Ed preparation program in Canada. In addition to the academic and co-op terms taken through Waterloo, Math/Teaching students spend two terms (eight months) in the classroom before attending a Faculty of Education. A second teachable subject can be chosen from science or arts. Popular choices include physics, chemistry, biology, and music. Graduates are prepared to apply to a Faculty of Education in Ontario to complete their B.Ed to teach at the intermediate and senior divisions, grades 7 to 12.
Mathematics/Teaching may be combined with many of the departmental honours plans in the Faculty of Mathematics.
