Helping Teachers Teach Mathematics Conference - HTTMC 2026

Bridging the Gap: Strengthening Africa’s Mathematics Classrooms Through Resilience, Innovation and Hope

One of the core objectives of AIMS Ghana, as a UNESCO Category II Centre of Excellence, is to support training and professional development in the mathematical sciences for high school teachers across Africa. In support of this goal, AIMS Ghana is working in partnership with the Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing (CEMC) and the Pan-African Institute of Research (PAIR), both at the University of Waterloo, Canada, to organize the Helping Teachers Teach Mathematics and Computing conference.

The conference is designed to give teachers across Africa the opportunity to deepen their understanding of key mathematical concepts in the high school curriculum, while also exploring practical and engaging ways to teach them. Sessions will focus on classroom-ready ideas and activities that teachers can take back to their students. More broadly, the conference aims to encourage reflection, collaboration, and the sharing of creative approaches to teaching mathematics and computing.

The fourth edition of the AIMS Ghana – CEMC Helping Teachers Teach Mathematics Conference (HTTMC) will take place at the University of Ghana from May 20 – 22, 2026. This blended (online and in-person) event will bring educators together to exchange ideas, build connections, and renew their enthusiasm for teaching mathematics and computing.
