Canadian Senior and Intermediate Mathematics Contests

The Canadian Senior and Intermediate Mathematics Contests (CSMC and CIMC) are two contests designed to give students the opportunity to have fun and to develop their mathematical problem solving ability.

Audience

Students in Grades 10 or 9 or below (CIMC) and senior secondary school and CÉGEP students (CSMC); motivated students in lower grades are also encouraged to write these contests.

Date

Tuesday, November 20, 2012

2 hours
60 total marks
non-programmable calculators permitted provided they are without graphical displays

The contests are written in schools and supervised by teachers.

Mathematical Content

Most of the CIMC problems are based on the mathematical curriculum up to and including Grade 10. Most of the CSMC problems are based on the mathematical curriculum up to and including the final year of secondary school.

Registration Information

Schools register online. The deadline is November 08, 2012. View fees.
