Aligned with the Ontario Curriculum (Canada) and U.S. Common Core / NGSS Standards — ensuring strong preparation in Math, Science, and Coding for advanced contests, high school success, and university pathways.
Grade 10 builds on foundational skills and introduces deeper problem-solving. This year is key for preparing for advanced high school courses and STEM contests.
Develop higher-level problem-solving, essential for STEM education and competitions.
Key year for the Cayley Contest, a bridge to Fermat, Euclid, and university-level challenges.
Early contest participation boosts admission profiles for competitive programs like Engineering, CS, and Math.
Based on the Ontario MTH2W Mathematics (2021) curriculum.
Covers biology, chemistry, physics, and Earth/space systems.
Grade 10 programs across Canada and the U.S. share common goals: problem-solving, critical thinking, and STEM readiness.
| Region | Focus | Official Resource |
|---|---|---|
| Ontario | Quadratics, trigonometry, financial literacy | Ontario Ministry of Education |
| British Columbia | Workplace math & foundations, linear/quadratic relationships | BC Curriculum |
| U.S. | Common Core: quadratic functions, geometry proofs, trigonometry | Common Core Math |
The Cayley Contest, run by the University of Waterloo’s CEMC, helps Grade 10 students apply creative problem-solving in mathematics. It’s a stepping stone to Fermat (Grade 11) and Euclid (Grade 12).
Recognition: Certificates of Distinction, Outstanding Achievement, and Participation for all.

Unlike Pascal, Cayley, and Fermat, which are multiple-choice contests, the CIMC and CSMC are proof-based contests. Students must explain their reasoning clearly.

A real story from Cayley Contest achievement:
Many Ontario and Canadian students who excel in the Cayley Contest later move on to Fermat, Euclid, and COMC, significantly strengthening their university applications. See official recognition at the CEMC Contest Archive.
We follow a structured 3-level coding plan — from Karel the Robot to advanced AI projects — preparing Grade 10 students for computing contests and career pathways.
By Grade 10, students are ready to take their coding skills to the next level — preparing for CCC and USACO.
Hosted by University of Waterloo, gateway to CCO & IOI.
