Gauss Math Contest Results

Krista Edwards
On May 12th, all of our Middle School students and one Junior School student were given the opportunity to participate in the University of Waterloo’s Gauss Mathematics contest. This is a one-hour long multiple choice contest that provides students a chance to strengthen their problem solving skills by engaging with problems that cover the scope of the curriculum and beyond.
This year, the Gauss was offered online for the first time so that it would be accessible to students around the world who are currently engaged in a remote-learning environment. Although there were a few issues with technology at the start when everyone accessed the online platform at the same time, our CDS students persevered and successfully took part in this annual enrichment experience.

Certificates of Distinction are awarded to the students who achieve in the top 25% of participants at CDS.
