Math Department is Putting the ‘Fun’ in Functions… the ‘Try’ in Triangles… the ‘Fact’ in Factorial

The math department has started a new weekly math contest.  Each week a math question from the University of Waterloo will be released on community news and this blog.  There will be a question for Grades 9-10 and another question for those in Grades 11-12.  You must hand your answer into Ms. Braun – Rm 310 of school House by the required deadline.  The person to hand in the best solution on time will be awarded a $5 Starbucks gift card!
