1. MISSION The Math Thru Music (MTM) mandate is to engage, educate and encourage students to gain a greater understanding of math using the music they love. Students quickly see algebra, fractions, decimals, percentages and much more embedded into the music they listen to every day.
2. MATH THRU MUSIC & BE MORE STEAM PARTNERSHIP Math Thru Music is pleased to announce the partnership between MTM and B.E.M.O.R.E.S.T.E.M. (an acronym for Bringing Everyone More Opportunities and Relevant Experiences in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics). BE MORE STEM increases creative thinking and confidence within students. Attendance and graduation rates as well as daily academic performance are all increased as a result of this innovative programming.
3. THE MTM KIT The MTM kit consists of all the hardware and software needed to run the Math Thru Music program without the assistance of an instructor. Students can practice their math and DJing skills at the same time, anytime. When a school brings an MTM kit into their culture, many times inspire spinoff clubs and groups form within a school. Students look for outlets to practice and perform. The culture of the school is always positively transformed.

4. STUDENT ASSEMBLIES This unique session engages young people on an intellectual and emotional level; clearly demonstrating how relevant math is in their daily lives. Using DJing as a hook; students see their regular curriculum brought to life using their favorite music in a way they’ll never forget.
ISSUES COVERED: multiplication, division, percentages, decimals, fractions and ratios. *Recommended for grades 4-9.
5. WEEKLY PROGRAMMING The weekly program is run by an authorized Math Thru Music instructor. Each week students will have the opportunity to practice, math concepts as well as DJ techniques in a fun and nurturing environment. The program allows up to 25 students the chance to receive one-on-one instruction. The instructor brings in an entire MTM lab for students to practice on.
LIMITED AVAILABILTY. Recommended for Grades 5-9
6. STUDENT ENGAGEMENT ANALYSIS The following is brief survey of over 840 students in grades 6-8 that participated in the Math Thru Music Program.

GOVERNMENT STUDY A recent study published by the Minister of Education (Ontario) demonstrated the effectiveness of the MTM program. The graphic (left) outlines a province-wide study among grade students. Between 2012 and 2017, Provincial scores remained stagnant at 44%. Board of Education scores declined from 45% in 2012 to 39% in 2017. However, Chinguacousy Secondary School saw a dramatic increase in students’ scores. They went from 28% in 2012 to 69% in 2017. Chinguacousy introduced the MTM program and credits the concepts and methods as the predominant reason for increased success. “We introduced the Math Thru Music DJ program into our classrooms and the kids will never be the same. Their interest in mathematics increased dramatically and once they were engaged; their test scores improved. I can’t say enough about the innovative way that MTM turns kids on to Math.” D. Fournier – Curricular Head Chinguacousy Secondary School
