        ACCESS CKSTEM LEARNING PORTAL

        This video explains how to get access to the CK STEM Learning Portal. If you have any problem with login then try to reset the password. Your user name is the same as the email address you used to register for The Canadian Math Summer Contest (CMSC).

        If you have any questions then email to us @ info@ckstem.org.

        SESSION #1

        LEARN TO CONNECT DOTS IN NUMBER THEORY

        The first session was focused on the most important problem-solving technique of connecting the dots. We explored this technique by engaging problems in number theory. You can also find presentation slides here.

        SeSSION #2

        IDENTIFY PATTERNS IN COUNTING AND PROBABILITY

        Pattern recognition and counting is a creative process in the competition problems. It's important to understand key rules and techniques to become an expert in counting and probability. You can also find slides here.

        SeSSION #3

        ENGAGE IN WISHFUL THINKING

        The core of math is arithmetic. We explored some brain teasers in arithmetic along with strategies to solve word problems. We also used arithmetic and word problems to explain how to engage in wishful thinking to solve some cool problems.

        SeSSION #4

        ALWAYS KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE GOAL

        When you are in a competition, you get 1-3 min to solve a problem. It's easier to get distracted or do unnecessary hard work. We will use Geometry problems to explain how to always keep eyes on the goal.

        SeSSION #5

        PROBLEM SOLVING STRATEGY REVIEW

        We covered many problem-solving strategies in the first four sessions. We will summarize all strategies as a reminder so that you can continue to get better at using these strategies.

        SeSSION #6

        Puzzles and Brain Teasers

        We covered many problem-solving strategies in the first five sessions. We would like to change gears now and discuss a few cool puzzles and brain teasers. This session will be held on Wed Jul 29 @ 6 pm ET. You can sign up for the session here.

      • Contest Details

        1

        what is CMSC?

        Canadian Math Summer Contest is an initiative by Competitive Kids STEM Projects (CK STEM) to prepare Canadian Kids to compete and win at international competitions. Participants will be required to write 5 online tests during the summer. CK STEM will also provide 5 online sessions to teach techniques of problem-solving to train students.

        2

        What is the motivation behind CMSC?

        CK STEM is a nonprofit organization committed to preparing Canadian Kids to compete at an international level. Opportunities to experience international competitions are not available easily to all kids. Also, not everyone can afford private schools or costly after-school private coaching that provide such opportunities. We would like to give an equal opportunity to every kid in Canada to experience and exhibit their talent.

         

        We would also like to teach the techniques of problem-solving techniques so that students are better prepared to compete.

         

        Beyond this competition, we are also committed to helping deserving candidates to participate in the right opportunities at the right time in the future as well.

        3

        WHEN IS The contest?

        The contest is from Jul 6 - Aug 14, 2020. All participants are required to compete in all 5 tests to get listed in our national rank which will be published in the last week of August. Tests can be taken at any time during the contest period, however, we encourage participants to write a test every week, there will be a waiting period of 5 days after completing every test before they can write the next one.

        4

        Who is it for?

        This contest is open to all Canadian Students currently in Grade 5-8, the school year of 2019-2020. You can register for the competition by filling this form. A different test will be given to each grade contest.

        5

        WHAT IS THE COST?

        This contest is made available at no cost (free) for everyone to participate. Having said that, there is a significant amount of cost we will be incurring in order to conduct this contest. Therefore, we will appreciate donations to help us facilitate this program.

        6

        What kind of questions will be asked in this contest?

        We have prepared a unique blend of questions from several international contests e.g. UKMT, Mathcounts, AMC and many others to give participants a strong exposure to global competitions. Each test will contain both multiple-choice and regular questions.

        7

        What will be the format of each TEST?

        Our primary focus is to train students to compete, therefore, participants can check if their answer is correct during the test. They will be allowed to attempt questions again, however, there will be a penalty of 50% for multiple-choice questions and 33% for other types of questions. This will help kids to develop resiliency to bounce back from their mistakes as well as real-time learning.

         

        While it's a contest, our objective is to teach throughout the process. Participants will also be provided with detailed solutions to the questions they attempted immediately after the test. This will provide an opportunity for the students to review and improve.

         

        Each test will be 45-minute long. We will also give them practice tests to get used to the format before the contest.

        8

        How are the winners decided?

        Each test will be worth 100 points. Winners are decided based on the average score of their top 4 scores. Top 5% of students will get a Certificate of Distinction. Top 5-10% of students will get a Certificate of Merit. 10-25% of students will receive a Certificate for Honourable Mention if a student's score is more than 50%. All remaining students will get a Certificate of Participation.

        9

        How can you Enroll in the contest?

        You can enroll in the competition by filling this form.

        10

        Who can you contact if you have more questions?

        You can send an email to info@ckstem.org. Please note that this program is being executed by volunteers who love to help their community. They have a full-time job, hence, while we commit to responding back to the enquiries, we cannot guarantee a response time. Our volunteers do their best to get back to you as soon as possible.

        11

        WHERE CAN YOU FIND EXAMPLES OF QUESTIONS?

        You can prepare for this competition by reviewing a few samples of international competitions here.

        12

        HOW CAN I GET MORE FORMAL TRAINING?

        You can enroll in our training programs and can browse through our courses here. In the coming days, we will publish our full-year programs for the upcoming school year of 2020-2021. It is important to note that as a non-profit organization, we focus on providing the best value and content to the families at a highly affordable price. Our success lies in the success of our students.

      • HOW CAN YOU HELP US

        SPREAD AWARENESS AND DONATE

        We would like to help students all across Canada. Please help us spread the word. We are confident that the participants will have fun in solving some of the coolest math problems with our unique approach of allowing them to try each problem more than once.

         

        We also need funds to run this program especially for licensing costs involved in using certain tools. The anticipated cost to facilitate this lies between $2000-5000 depending on the number of participants. We are relying on the generosity of our donors to help meet this cost as we will not be charging the students any contest fees. Therefore, we will greatly appreciate your support and donation.
