MORNING MUSING ALL WEEK :)

Canada is turning 150 this year (that's the sesquicentennial) and we would like to celebrate mathematically with a contest here at the WECDSB

The contest is simple: students must create a math problem related to Canada that has an answer of 150. The math problem should also be related to the grade they are in (e.g., a grade 6 student should create a problem that can be solved with grade 6 math). 

Once all the submissions are received, we will take all the eligible entries and have one draw of a $50 Chapters Gift Card for each grade k-12 and then one grand prize of a $150 Chapters Gift card to be drawn from all of the eligible entries. 

An eligible entry 
1) has a math problem related to Canada and has an answer of 150 (and it has to be correct)
2) has a full solution to the problem
3) is written with math appropriate to the grade level of the student submitting it
4) is submitted, as an image, either to this Google form http://bit.ly/equals150 (Tools2Go login required) or via Twitter using the hashtags #Equals150 #Canada150 (the hashtag is important so that we can find it - you might also want to tag your school, the WECDSB twitter feed & @Canada150th). Teachers can submit on behalf of a student.

Students can check if we have received their entry via this link http://bit.ly/equals150entrylist

All entries must be received by June 2nd, 2017. Students can enter as often as they wish (with different math problems).

O Canada! Let's create math!!!!
