Every week, LCC’s grade 1 students receive a “Math Problem of the Week,” which is made up of several math activities that they need to solve.

In honour of LCC’s 100th birthday celebration, the grade 1 students put together their own display of 100 objects. They needed to choose 100 items, count them by putting them into groups and present them in any way they wanted. The results were amazing! Their projects were creative, vibrant and original. Our founder, Dr. Fosbery, would be proud… I sure am!
