Activity Description and Educational Rationale
Students will compete in a math competition against other CIS schools. The contest is a team math competition created by the University of Waterloo, which features team events, partner events and individual events. This event is hosted at Waterloo with limited attendance. CIS schools in the GTA put on their own contest to bring students together for the experience.
Members of the senior school math club have been working on interesting content and problems all year, and this acts as a culminating experience and celebration of the year.
Students will share a bus with other independent schools
