Nick Christian
After spending 25 years as a secondary-level mathematics teacher, Nick Christian turned his efforts towards younger students at Bloordale Middle School in Etobicoke, Ontario. By initiating math projects, contests and clubs, and a Family Math program, he developed a high level of excitement among his students. He has proved that it is possible to show students how powerful and exciting mathematics is rather than to just tell them how important it is.
