About CEMC

• The Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing (CEMC) at the University of Waterloo runs Canada's largest math competition program.
• Over 200,000 students participate in CEMC contests annually from 80+ countries.
• Contests span Grades 7–12: Gauss → Pascal → Cayley → Fermat → Euclid.
• All past papers and solutions are freely available from CEMC's official website.

Math Education in Canada

Canada's mathematics curriculum varies by province, with Ontario and Quebec offering two of the most rigorous programs. Ontario students follow a course-code system (e.g., MPM2D for Grade 10 Academic, MCV4U for Grade 12 Calculus & Vectors), while Quebec's francophone system progresses through Secondaire 1–5 before CEGEP-level differential and integral calculus.

MathHub provides free interactive textbooks for both streams: Ontario Grades 9–12 (including Functions, Advanced Functions, and Calculus & Vectors) and Quebec Secondaire through CEGEP (covering arithmétique, algèbre, géométrie, trigonométrie, and calcul différentiel/intégral). Each chapter includes worked examples, interactive Desmos graphs, and practice problems with step-by-step solutions.

For students preparing for university, CEMC competitions (Gauss, Pascal, Cayley, Fermat, Euclid) are widely recognized by Canadian universities as evidence of mathematical ability. Our archive provides past papers with full solutions to help students prepare effectively.
