Canadian Senior & Intermediate Mathematics Contests
By Krista Edwards
In November, we had 39 motivated CDS students rise to the challenge of competing in either the Canadian Senior Mathematics Competition (CSMC) or the Canadian Intermediate Math Competition (CIMC). Both contests are two hours in duration, require full solutions, and provide students with opportunities to demonstrate an excellent knowledge of various mathematical topics.
The CIMC is offered to students in Grade 10 or below. This year, there were 13,039 worldwide participants. The worldwide average score was 29.1 out of 60. Certificates of Distinction are awarded to students who achieved a minimum qualifying score of at least 35 out of 60.
This year, our Certificates of Distinction were awarded to:
- Emily Li (Grade 8) and Sophie Ng (Grade 7), with a score of 35
- Ben Li (Grade 8) and Ethan T. Wang (Grade 8), with a score of 36
- Darren Li (Grade 10), with a score of 38
- A Certificate of Distinction, and, once it arrives, the school medal for achieving our top score of 39, is awarded to Ethan Shim (Grade 10).
The CSMC is offered to students in Grade 12 or below. This year, there were 15,153 worldwide participants. The worldwide average score was 28.6 out of 60. Certificates of Distinction are awarded to students who achieved a minimum qualifying score of 35 out of 60.
This year, our Certificates of Distinction were presented to:
- Luca Tchelidze (Grade 12), with a score of 35
- Bobby Tian (Grade 12), with a score of 36
- Lucas Colozza (Grade 12), with a score of 37
- Kaitlyn Zhang (Grade 12) with a score of 38
- A Certificate of Distinction, and, once it arrives, the school medal for achieving our top score of 39, is awarded to Tedrick Lu (Grade 12).
Congratulations to all who participated in these two challenging contests. Please reach out to your math teacher for your score if your results were not mentioned.
The Mathematics and Computer Science departments would like to remind students that there are more enrichment opportunities coming up in the near future. The Canadian Computing Competition will be held on February 18th, and the Pascal, Cayley, and Fermat math contests will be written on February 25th. The Grade 12 Euclid Contest is on March 31st, and the Fryer, Galois, and Hypatia Contests are on April 1st.
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.
