Regional Recipient
James Nakamoto
Math teacher James Nakamoto is behind much of the success of Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School in Vancouver in math contests. It is the only public British Columbia school to win the Canadian mathematics competitions more than once - Pascal and Euclid (1989) and Fermat (1995). The school has also been named provincial champion of these competitions more often than any other public school. Mr. Nakamoto, who has been developing curricula for many years, also freely shares his expertise with other teachers.
