The Gauss Contest is a multiple choice contest for grades 7 and 8. It is prepared at the University of Waterloo and is a standard Mathematics contest for Ontario students. We will be studying past tests because they give a variety of questions and offer an excellent opportunity for learning.
Parents: although we will take up the questions in class, solutions may also be found online here at this link.

Integrated computer skills

Students will use our computer lab and have individual passwords and folders. We also have an auxiliary lab in the class which is NOT connected to the TDSB network. Through the generosity of Computers for Schools, we have a set of 6 computers.

Students have been introduced to the following software:

  • Geometer's Sketchpad
  • Tinkerplots
  • Appleworks: Word processing and Drawing
  • Web browsers

This month students will integrate these skills by making:

  • A Poster

Computer News

We have two iMacs which we will use for creating Media.

Stay tuned for:
