The Fields Institute has generously funded our first set of free Joy of X performances for schools.

Joy of X is a math performance project by George Gadanidis.

Our goal is to celebrate mathematical thinking and help K-8 students, teachers and parents experience mathematics as a fully human activity, that can be discussed with family and friends as one would with a favourite book or a good movie.

Joy of X offers math prerformances (see teacher sample) for K-8 students, teachers and parents that involve rich math activities + math stories/drama + math songs. We have a variety of performances aimed at different age groups.

To arrange a math performance, please contact George Gadanidis (ggadanid@uwo.ca).

The math performances are provided at cost.

Concept & lyrics by George Gadanidis; music by Ian Parliament and Ryan Casselman + friends.
