Details and previous contest papers can be accessed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cemc.uwaterloo.ca\/contests\/gauss.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>. Talk to your Gr 7 teacher about writing it. Burnaby also has two local math contests:\u00a0 The Abel is for students Grade 5 and lower who would like to challenge themselves. The Mirzakhani math contest encourages Grade 6 and younger students to write.
