The 12th Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art Contest (NCC19) 


Co-organized and sponsored by Confucius Institute in Waterloo, and sponsored by Canadian Mathematical Society, Grand River Chinese School will host "The 12th Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art Contest (NCC19)" on Nov. 23, 2019, 2:30pm to 4:00pm. Students achieving outstanding results in the contest will receive awards and certificates in 5 separate age groups (winners of grade 3 and grade 4 will be separately awarded).

NCC19 is a math contest designed for students of Grades 3 to 10 as a warm-up for the Canadian Math Contests (Thales Contest for Grade 3, Byron-Germain Contest for Grade 4, Fibonacci Contest for Grade 5, Pythagoras Contest for Grade 6, Gauss Contest for Grades 7 and 8, Pascal Contest for Grade 9, and Cayley Contest for Grade 10). The NCC is named after the Chinese ancient classic book "The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art"  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_Chapters_on_the_Mathematical_Art). 

 

During 2008 to 2018, NCC has tested 945 participants, many of them further wrote various Canadian math contests, and have been listed on honour rolls of those contests for 568 times including 118 times of golden standards, gold, silver and bronze medals, perfect scores, national and regional champions.

Participating in NCC19 is free. Local students who were born in 2004 to 2011 are eligible. Students from other areas may also attend if they are able to travel to Waterloo for the contest.
