, The Team Up Challenge is a set of materials containing four events that educators can use with their students. Participants work in teams and engage in fun and interactive activities to strengthen their mathematical problem-solving skills. This free resource is designed to encourage student
, The focus of the Team Up Challenge is participation and collaboration. For this reason, educators are given solutions so that they can check each team's work. The CEMC does not collect results.
Create sets of problems randomly selected from past Gauss, Pascal, Cayley, and Fermat Contests useful for curriculum support and contest preparation.
The Problem of the Week is designed to provide students with an ongoing opportunity to solve mathematical problems. Each week, problems from various areas of mathematics will be posted here and e-mailed to educators for use with their students from Grades 3 to 12. The problems vary in difficulty and
SPARCS is a week-long, in-person immersive workshop designed to spark interest in computer science among Grade 9 and 10 students. We welcome students who identify as a girl as well as gender minorities who feel comfortable in a space that centres the experiences of women.
