2023 Fryer, Galois, Hypatia & Euclid Math Contests
On Wednesday April 5th, a group of 2 Middle School and 21 Senior School students rose to the challenge of writing the annual Fryer, Galois, and Hypatia mathematics contests. These contests are 75 minutes in length and involve solving four problems that build towards a more complex task to solve in each question.
Also, on Tuesday April 4th, 9 Senior School students participated in the Euclid mathematics contest. This is the most challenging of the University of Waterloo contests; it is offered to students at the Grade 12 level or below. It is a 2.5 hour, paper-only contest containing ten questions that require clear explanations of how answers are obtained with the use of proper mathematical form.
Certificates of Distinction were earned by those who achieved in the top 25% of participants at CDS, and a school medal is awarded to the top score at CDS for each of the contests. (Both of these types of awards have a minimum cut-off score that is set by the CEMC. School medals will be presented to students at a later date, as our shipment has not yet arrived.)

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.
