This contest -- organized by PIMS under the guidance of Dr. Cary Chien, formerly of David Thompson Secondary School in collaboration with the BCAMT and volunteers from Lower Mainland schools of all levels -- is open at nominal cost to students in Grades 5 to 7. It gives them a chance to experience mathematics as an exciting sport.
Participants will be given a snack and a drink during the refreshment break. All materials for the contest will be provided (pencils, erasers, paper). Note that no calculators are allowed.
