Ron Lancaster, the 2007 SEAMC Guest Speaker, hails from Toronto Canada. He is famous for his skills in creating math trails to help students discover math.

Ron taught middle and high school mathematics for over 20 years and has worked as a mathematics consultant in North America, Asia and Israel. He is presently a Lecturer in Mathematics Education at the University of Toronto.

Ron has been a presenter at hundreds of conferences, including the Phillips Exeter Academy Mathematics Conference for the past nineteen years, and at EARCOS conferences in Jakarta, Bali, Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City. The workshops involve a wide range of topics including connecting mathematics with art; the use of photos to promote mathematical enquiry; and the use of handheld technology and computer software. Ron is well known for his expertise in designing Math Trails. Ron has created these math paths in many cities,
particularly in Singapore where over 7000 students and hundreds of teachers have enjoyed his walks in shopping centres, parks and art museums.

Ron was an on-air teacher and consultant for several television series, one of which won a Gold Medal at the 1990 International Film and TV Festival of New York.

What is SEAMC?

SEAMC is an annual international mathematics competition aimed at 14 and 15 year old students. Schools send one or two teams of three students for a rigorous two days of mathematical challenges and fun activities centered around mathematics ..... yes, math(s) can be fun.
There are individual rounds, team rounds, presentations by a guest mathematician, team challenges, While there exists a healthy competitive spirit, emphasis is on providing students with opportunities to build friendships with peers from other schools. The competition is non-profit.

Who are eligible?

How did it all start?
