This course is for those interested in challenging their mathematical problem-solving and innovative skills by taking the University of Waterloo Pascal, Cayley, and Fermat math contests. We will cover everything from the test format to testing strategies to specific solutions for different questions in the 5 testing areas of Algebra and Equations, Counting and Probability, Data Analysis, Geometry and Measurement, and Number Sense.
Each student will have a unique study plan tailored to their grade level, and there will be weekly assignments to ensure that students get as much experience with their contest as possible!
