Alberta students getting serious about Trig!

Over 700 math students from 30 Alberta high schools are preparing to take the Trig-Alta Challenge. The Trig-Alta Challenge (www.trigalta.ab.ca) is a survey-themed math contest which has been developed jointly by experienced math teachers and Alberta Land Surveyors, showing how, in a real-world setting, Alberta Land Surveyors use the math the students have learned. The first Trig-Alta Challenge will take place Tuesday, December 11, 2007.
