      • CKSTEM FAMILY CHALLENGES

        As children's first teachers, family members are crucial to student success. And the more adults become engaged in their children's education, the greater the chances that children will succeed. Hence, our goal is to engage families in the learning process through these fun challenges.

        Math Magic

        Learn Math Magic

        Have you ever wondered how a magician makes a rabbit or pigeon disappear? Magic in math is no different. It's similar to making a bird or animal disappear.

         

        Isn't it cool if you know the tricks so that you can surprise your friends and family?

         

        We thought you might want to learn and apply some cool tricks during your holiday break.

         

        Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays!

        Seven Problem-Solving Techniques

        7 Problem-Solving Techniques

        One of the primary reasons people have trouble with problem-solving is that there is no single procedure that works all the time — each problem is slightly different. Also, problem-solving requires practical knowledge about the specific situation. If you misunderstand either the problem or the underlying situation you may make mistakes or make incorrect assumptions. One of our main goals here is to help you become better problem solvers.

         

        1. Solve a simpler problem
        2. Look for a pattern
        3. Visualize and draw
        4. Estimate and check
        5. Work Backwards
        6. Breakdown the problem
        7. Unleash your potential

         

        You can also learn in detail about the problem solving techniques here.

        Canadian Innovation Math Contest (CIMC) 2023 Practice Questions

        CIMC 2023 Practice Questions

        This contest is designed to challenge and promote problem-solving, critical thinking, reasoning, and abstract or spatial thinking for the students. Learning mathematics through problem-solving activities is the most efficient way for students to develop mathematical skills that will prepare them for the future.

         

        You can learn more about these contests here and enroll for free to learn, compete, and win.

        CKSTEM Family Challenge #5

        What is the height?

        Reading scales and understanding units are crucial for the kids. This problem could also facilitate a good discussion on a critical problem-solving strategy of breaking down a big problem into a few smaller problems. It's always easier to solve smaller problems. Parents may also create a few variations to explain the concept by connecting it with kids. This creates an emotional bond and helps them learn faster, e.g., how much taller are you than the robot? You can also discuss different units of measurement e.g. inches, cm, meters etc. Let us know how the discussion goes with your family. We hope you will have fun discussing this.

        CKSTEM Family Challenge #4

        Travel to Canada!

        Visualization skills are critical for developing the young mind. This beautiful problem provides families with good discussion points at their dinner table. It's an excellent paper-folding problem and presents opportunities for parents to discuss places they want to see in Canada next. Can you name all Canadian provinces and territories? Don't hesitate to use Google to refresh your memory about the Canadian map.

         

        Now you can see how we can kill many birds using just one fantastic problem. Let us know how the discussion goes at your dinner table. If you like this problem, you may want children to participate in our Canadian Innovation Contests (CIC). This problem was given to the student in the 2023 version of the CIC Math contest.

        Which Cookie would you eat?

        Which Cookie would you eat?

        Suppose you love chocolate. The top of each cookie is covered with the same thickness of chocolate. If you wanted to choose the cookie with more chocolate, which one would you pick? Think about this as well:

        • Some people say that a coastline has infinite length. What could they mean by this?
        • When people talk about buying so many yards of carpet, they are really talking about square yards; with yards of concrete or sand, they are really talking about cubic yards.

        CKSTEM Family Challenge #2

        Do people with big hands have larger angles between their fingers?

        Estimate the measures of the angles between your fingers when you spread out your hand.

         

        Angles are important geometric shapes. They are used in designing many things from airplanes to golf clubs. Download challenge for additional details and questions.

        CKSTEM Family Challenge #2

        Which one would you buy?

        Take two identical sheets of paper. [An ordinary sheet of paper measures 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches.] Roll one sheet into a short cylinder and the other into a tall cylinder. Set them both on a flat surface. Does one hold more than the other?

         

        Making visual estimates and finding volumes are useful skills. Designers and engineers use these skills to find economical ways to package and protect items.
