HOMEWORK

• There is homework after each class.

• The homework is posted on Olympiads School website: http://www.olympiads.ca/
• Students need to print out the homework after each class and finish it by the next class.
• The homework is marked with “P” for pass and “I” for incomplete.

CONTEST

All of the grade 11-12 math classes for the upcoming semester will be based on contest materials,
which include the following contests:

1. AMC 12 (American Mathematics Competition)

This contest is an annual national math contest for all levels of grade 11 and 12 students (grades 11
and 12 students share one contest), and is hosted by Mathematical Association of America. The
contest is held every year in November.

AMC 12 has 25 multiple choice questions with a total score of 150 and must be completed within 75
minutes. Students who scored at least top 5% will be invited to write the American Invitation of
Mathematics Examination (AIME).

2. Waterloo Mathematics Contest Series

The Waterloo mathematics contest series is for all students from grade 7 to 12. It is also called
Canadian Mathematics Competitions. It is hosted by University of Waterloo, hence called Waterloo
contest series. From grades 9-12, there are three types of Waterloo math contests:

1) Canadian Intermediate and Senior Mathematics Contests (CIMC and CSMC)

The CSMC is for grades 11 and 12 students and is held every year in November.

The format of the contest is as follows:

• 9 questions; 6 are answer only and 3 are full solution
• marks for full solution questions assigned for form and style of presentation
• 2 hours
• 60 total marks
• some calculators permitted

2) Waterloo Contest Series 1

This contest series has different names for each of the different contest: Gauss (grade 7 and 8), Pascal
(grade 9), Caley (grade 10), Fermat (grade 11).

The format of the contest is as follows:
• 25 multiple-choice questions
• 60 minutes
• 150 total marks
• some calculators permitted

3) Waterloo Contest Series 2

Since 2003, University of Waterloo also hosted another contest series for grade 9-11 students every
year in April. They are called Fryer (grade 9), Galois (grade 10), and Hypatia (grade 11).

The format of the contest is as follows:

• 4 full solution questions
• 75 minutes
• 40 total marks
• some calculators permitted

4) Euclid Mathematics Contest

The Euclid Math contest is for grades 12 students and is held every year in April.

The format of contest is as follows:

• 10 questions; some answer only and some full solution
• marks for full solution questions assigned for form and style of presentation
• 2.5 hours
• 100 total marks
• some calculators permitted

Most of the problems will be based on the mathematics curriculum up to and including the final year
of secondary school.

The paper may include questions based on the topic listed below:
• Euclidean and Analytic Geometry
• Trigonometry, including functions, graphs, identities, sine and cosine laws
• Exponential and Logarithmic Functions
• Functional Notation
• Systems of Equations
• Polynomials, including relationships involving the roots of quadratic and cubic equations, the
remainder theorem
• Sequences and Series
• Simple Counting Problems
• Properties of Numbers
