Online Math CoNTEST

Sorry, we will not run the contest until further notice.

Designed to be inclusive and fun, this competition can be used as a classroom activity for students who have completed or are taking enriched Grade 9 Math, Grade 10 Math, Grade 11 Math or Grade 12 Math. The inherent flexibility of a web-based contest means that it can be written at any time of the day or as an after-school activity.

Dialogue on Transition

to be announced

 

Department of Mathematics and Statistics at McMaster University has been hostinga Dialogue on Transition Issues with math teachers in the region. We invite teachers to share their insights and experience in regards to grade 11 and 12 math courses and we discuss how Level I math courses at McMaster have changed to adapt to changes in the high school mathematics curriculum.
