| − | The CEMC (Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing) is a division of the University of Waterloo, located in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, that deals with the teaching of mathematical subjects to students in Canada and around the world.
| + | #REDIRECT [[Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing]] |
| − | | |
| − | ==Purpose==
| |
| − | The CEMC is now known as Canada's most recognized organization for promoting and creating activities for mathematics and computer science. In their mission statements, it quotes:
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''"The Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing aims to increase enjoyment, confidence and ability in mathematics and computer science among students and teachers in Canada and internationally."''
| |
| − | | |
| − | They organize face-to-face workshops, the publication of books, lots of online resources and competitions in order to reach their goal.

| − | == CEMC Contest Overview ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Annually, CEMC holds competitions that varies from the elementary to the high-school level which is based on the nationwide curriculum. Like many math tests, the CEMC tests require problem solving. Each competition, with the exception of Fryer, is named after a famous mathematician.
| |
| − | | |
| − | These competitions include:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * 4 multiple choice competitions for elementary and high-school level students.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * 4 full solution competitions for high-school level students.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * A Team Mathematics competition.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Computing competitions for beginners and experts.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Calculators can be used in most of the tests, but it can not have internet access, send information to other devices, or store notes.

| − | ===Multiple Choice Tests===
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{Contest Info|name=CEMC Multiple Choice Tests |region=Canada|type=Multiple Choice|difficulty=0.5 - 3|breakdown=<u>Part A</u>: 0.5-1.5<br><u>Part B</u>: 1-2<br><u>Part C (Gauss/Pascal)</u>: 2-2.5<br><u>Part C (Cayley/Fermat)</u>: 2.5-3}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the multiple choice tests, solvers have 60 minutes to solve 25 questions. The questions are divided into three parts. Part A has 10 questions worth 5 points each, Part B has 10 questions worth 6 points each, and Part C has 5 questions worth 8 points each. Unanswered questions get 2 points (up to 10 unanswered questions), and incorrect answers grant 0 points.
| |

| − | Below are the list of multiple choice tests of the CEMC:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * [[CEMC Gauss (Grade 7)]]
| |
| − | * [[CEMC Gauss (Grade 8)]]
| |
| − | * [[CEMC Pascal]] (Grade 9)
| |
| − | * [[CEMC Cayley]] (Grade 10)
| |
| − | * [[CEMC Fermat]] (Grade 11)

| |
| − | | |
| − | For the CEMC Fryer/Galois/Hypatia/Euclid, some questions only require the answer while other questions require a full solution with quality presentation. Many questions have multiple parts. People taking the Fryer, Galois, and Hypatia Tests have 75 minutes to answer 4 questions, and people taking the Euclid Test have 2.5 hours to solve 10 questions.
