Pascal (Grade 9), Cayley (Grade 10), Fermat (Grade 11)
These contests are an opportunity for students to have fun and to develop their mathematical problem-solving ability. Contests are 60 minutes long and contain 25 multiple choice questions (“Early questions require only concepts found in the curriculum common to all provinces. The last few questions are designed to test ingenuity and insight.”)
Grade 11 students can also register to write the Euclid (Grade 12) contest if they wish.

Euclid (Grade 11 & 12 students)
These contests are an opportunity for students to have fun and to develop their mathematical problem-solving ability. The contest takes 2.5 hours and contains 10 questions (Most of the problems are based on curricula up to and including the final year of secondary school. Some content might require students to extend their knowledge and the best way to familiarize oneself with commonly appearing topics is to practice using past contests).
Students in Grade 11 who wrote the Fermat contest can also register to write the Euclid contest.
Fee: $16
