ELMACON

The contest is organized by PIMS under the guidance of Dr. Cary Chien, formerly of David Thompson Secondary School in collaboration with the BCAMT and volunteers from UBC, SFU and the Lower Mainland. ELMACON gives students from grades 5 to 7 a chance to experience mathematics as an exciting sport.

The contest is modelled after the successful MathCounts competitions (which are also supported by PIMS), but is aimed at younger students. Students from each of grades 5, 6, and 7 compete in separate divisions. Each division enjoys three rounds of competition.

See the official ELMACON website at http://www.elmacon.org/ for full details.

Note: no calculators are allowed and there is a nominal registration fee.
