The Problem of the Month is intended to challenge enthusiastic high school math students. Most problems are designed with the assumption that students attempting them have a solid understanding of grade 11 math, but some problems may still be of interest to motivated younger students.
A new problem will be posted on the first Tuesday of every month starting in October. A hint will follow 10 days later, and a solution another 10 days after that.

The purpose of this STEM project was for student’s to show their mastery of outcomes ME3.1 and ME3.2 using a STEM challenge. STEM is the acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics and requires the usage of each area in the planning, design and building of an inquiry-based project. In this challenge, the students were tasked with designing and building a magnetic maze for their classmates to maneuver a paper clip through in a race. The students were required to plan their maze and gather materials prior to class then assemble and test during class time. They then had the opportunity to test the mazes of two other classmates. Post-reflection of the activity involved discussion and evaluation of what worked and what didn’t and the best ideas and strategies that were discovered.
This is an introductory course to computer science using micro:bits as the physical tool, and MakeCode as the language. The course covers basic computer programming commands like variables and loops. It also incorporates elements of design thinking, making and problem solving to work towards the completion of tasks and activities. The course takes about 4 weeks to complete with regular work, (1 week on lessons and 3 weeks on the final project). It is recommended for grades 6-8.
