CEMC Waterloo Competition
By Dylan Matsui ‘27 and Mr. Jugoon
On Wednesday, April 8th, the CDS Math Team went to the University of Waterloo to compete in the Canadian Team Math Competition. The team was composed of Dylan Matsui, Lucas Colozza, Luca Tchelidze, Kaitlyn Zhang, Bobby Tian, Tedrick Lu, and was accompanied by team coaches Mr. Jugoon and Mrs. Edwards.
First on the agenda was a campus tour of the Mathematics and Computer Science buildings. As we walked through the hallways, Mrs. Edwards reminisced about her time at Waterloo as an undergrad. She was very excited to recollect the times she spent studying math with fellow Waterloo grads, Mr. Edwards and Mr. Moorlag. After the tour, we displayed our team banner and met with other teams during the official introductions.
The actual competition consisted of three parts: team, individual, and relay. In the team portion, all six members worked together to solve 25 questions without the use of a calculator. In the individual portion, each member worked independently on 10 questions. In the final event, students worked together to solve questions in a relay-style event in which answers were passed from one member to the next.
To conclude the day, we heard from guest speaker Professor Serge D’Alessio, who spoke about careers in mathematics, modelling, and applied math. In the end, CDS ranked 16th out of the 37 teams. GYs Lucas Colozza and Luca Tchelidze, reflecting on their final high school math competition, fondly summarized the event by saying, “We came, we solved, we conquered.”
Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
