Stumping Mathematicians is All Part of the Plan

Montreal elementary school JPPS again wins the top spot for math in Quebec, second overall in Canada!

For over a decade, Jewish Peoples and Peretz School has produced national and provincial math champions. This year, Grade 6 students won the provincial top spot and came in second overall in Canada. It begs the question: What are they doing so well?

This is no ordinary test; the questions have been known to stump professional mathematicians. In thirty minutes, the students have to answer 35 questions indirectly testing logical thought and application. The material is far beyond the normal range of what a grade 6 student ought to know: The concepts are often first introduced only in grades 8 and 9.

Around 1500 students throughout Canada took part in the test, encompassing about 305 schools. Each school submitted their 5 best scores to the Math League.

JPPS Teacher Sheila Witt Folk Shule ’53: first recipient of the Nachum Wilchesky Memorial Educational Leadership Award

It was so fitting that JPPS teacher and Folk Shule graduate from 1953 Sheila Witt was named the first recipient of the very prestigious Nachum Wilchesky Memorial Educational Leadership Award at the JPPS-Bialik Annual General Meeting held on November 29th.

It was a unanimous decision on the part of the committee chaired by Past President Shelley Cohen JPPS ’69. Committee members Edmond Elbaz, Directeur des Etudes Françaises Emérite, Merle Frankel Wolofsky, Executive Director Emeritus and Sara Weinberg, Director of Early Childhood and Elementary Education, Concordia University, carefully considered the criteria for the award – that it be bestowed upon a JPPS-Bialik teacher, administrator, educational staff member, or lay leader demonstrating outstanding teaching excellence or innovative and inspirational leadership in the field of Jewish education – as well as Nachum Wilchesky’s own love for the Yiddish language and culture, alongside the teaching of French, English and Hebrew.
