Each year the Indigenous Mathematics Education Network hosts the Indigenous Mathematics Symposium.

Our goal is to:
- Learn about new research in mathematics and Indigenous education
- Discuss and share approaches, research and educational projects for improving Indigenous math education
- Develop community connections to facilitate and support improving Indigenous math education
