Canadian Senior & Intermediate Mathematics Contests
Krista Edwards
Last November, we had 39 motivated 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 14,918 worldwide participants. The worldwide average score was of 29.7 out of 60. Certificates of Distinction are awarded to students who achieved a minimum qualifying score of 36 out of 60.
This year, Certificate of Distinction were awarded to:
Lucas Colozza (Grade 10), with a score of 37.
A Certificate of Distinction, and, once it arrives, the school medal for achieving our top score of 38, will be awarded to Dylan Matsui (Grade 9).
The CSMC is offered to students in Grade 12 or below. This year, there were 12,305 worldwide participants. The worldwide average score was 25.2 out of 60. Certificates of Distinction are awarded to students who achieved a minimum qualifying score of 33 out of 60.
This year, Certificates of Distinction were presented to:
Stone Li (Grade 12), with a score of 33
Frank Fu (Grade 11), with a score of 34
Jason Liang (Grade 11), with a score of 38
A Certificate of Distinction, a place on the CSMC Honour Roll, and, once it arrives, the school medal for achieving our top score of 40, will be awarded to Kevin Yang (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.
Going forward, 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 21st, and the Pascal, Cayley, and Fermat math contests will be written on February 28th. Google Forms are available to sign up through your Math or Computer Science teachers’ Google Sites.
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.
Founded in 1972, The Country Day School is a co-educational private school offering programs in JK-12 and located on 100 acres north of Toronto in King.
