Mathnasium Learning Centres Partnered with Pizza Pizza

— March 21, 2026 — Marketing
Mathnasium Learning Centres partnered with Pizza Pizza in February and March 2026 to celebrate Pi Day with a national sweepstakes and family-friendly learning events across Canada.

The sweepstakes, which ran from February 27 through March 14, offered participants the chance to win a $3,140 educational scholarship and a $314 Pizza Pizza gift card, with entry available online. On March 14, select Mathnasium Learning Centres locations hosted complimentary community events featuring themed treats, prize giveaways, and interactive math activity stations designed around Pi-inspired challenges.

For families already familiar with Mathnasium’s tutoring services, the Pi Day events offered a low-pressure, no-cost way to engage with the brand’s teaching approach through hands-on activities. The partnership with Pizza Pizza added a layer of accessibility, using a well-known Canadian brand to signal that math learning could be fun.
