Awards: Trophies will be awarded to all winners at CCCCD on the day of the contest (May 26th, 2007)

1. Math Comp is a mathematics competition held annually. The goal of the competition is to stimulate schoolchildren's interest in mathematics and to enhance their skills in problem solving.
2. Math Fun is another part of the event to further promote students' interest in mathematics and problem solving. Instead of taking test in a classroom setting, students are provided with lots of interesting mathematics puzzles and games to broaden their critical thinking skills and also to bring mathematical applications to life. For solving the problems, students are rewarded with fun gadgets and toys.
3. While students are taking the written test, parents can attend a Parents' Seminar organized by CIE. The seminar is intended to be informative and educational for the parents.
4. Presentation of the awards for contest winners will be held on the day of the contest at CCCCD.
