Math Enrichment Centre

The School of Mathematics and Statistics offers, with its partners, several math enrichment programs for grade school students. These are excellent opportunities for those who already do well in school and would like to experience math that goes beyond the standard school curriculum.  Please note that the grades below indicate the level of mathematics and not the age.

The School of Mathematics and Statistics has expanded its outreach activities to include the following.

Algebra and Trigonometry Course
Grade 11-12* Students: (September to May)
*Refers to the level of mathematics and not to the actual age.
This course runs in the environment which is very close to the actual University course, with regular assignments, mid-term and a final exam. The objective of this course is to better prepare students for success in their future University-level mathematics courses.

Competitive Math Contests

Competitive Math Program – Intermediate (Free Program)
Grade 7-8* Students (September to May)
*Refers to the level of mathematics and not to the actual age.

Competitive Math Program – Advanced (Free Program)
Grade 9* Students (September to May)
*Refers to the level of mathematics and not to the actual age.

Fundamentals of Geometry I Course
Grade 7-8 Students: (September to May)
Geometry is a wonderful playground for developing logical and consistent thinking. It may be regarded as a game played by axiomatic rules created by the ancient Greeks. However, this classical part of mathematics is practically nonexistent as a subject in the curriculum of Canadian schools.

Fundamentals of Geometry II Course
Grade 8-9 Students: (September to May)
In this sequel course more advanced topics in Geometry will be studied, including an introduction to trigonometry and 3-dimensional geometry.

MATHEMA Course
Grade 9 & Exceptional Grade 8 Students: (September to May)
This course is devoted to 3 subjects: Algebra, Computer Science and Physics. In the Computer Science component we will discuss algorithms and mathematical modeling. The Physics component will focus on kinematics, dynamics, conservation laws and electricity.

MathLink Program (Free Program)
Grade 9-10* Students: (September to April)
*Refers to the level of mathematics and not to the actual age.
MathLink is a free Math enrichment program at Carleton University, which started in 2006. MathLink will give an opportunity for the high school students to explore mathematics beyond the school program. Anyone with interest in mathematics is invited to participate.
