This will be the last Thursday email from POTW for the 2020 – 2021 school year. There is no new problem today.

The CEMC is excited to announce The Canadian Junior Team Mathematics Challenge; a new team activity for Grade 6, 7, and 8 students! Students will work together, in teams of 4, to solve math problems, complete puzzles, and participate in math relays. The materials will be emailed, at no cost, to interested teachers on June 1, 2021. For more information, and to sign up to receive the materials in June, please visit the following link: https://uwaterloo.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9TtL6smfHXkwtLg.

A link to the solution to last week’s problem is included in this email. We need to use the definition of the terms mean and median.

Check out our website at http://www.cemc.uwaterloo.ca/resources/potw.php over the summer. The problem / solution archive will be updated in late August. Look around the website – you will find many useful resources.

Have a wonderful day, an amazing June, July and August, and happy problem solving.
