The Problem of the Month is intended to challenge enthusiastic high school mathematics students. Most problems are designed with the assumption that students attempting them have a solid understanding of Grade 11 math, but some problems may still be of interest to younger motivated students.
Problems, Solutions and Results from previous years can be found in the table below. These resources can be used by students to review and attempt past contests to gain a better understanding of the contest format and level of difficulty. Educators can use these resources to help their students

Why CEMC contests matter Attempting contest problems boosts students' confidence and self-esteem, motivating them to pursue further challenges. Since CEMC contests are created at different levels of difficulty, engaging in these contests can spark an interest in mathematics and computer science
Calculating devices are allowed, provided that they do not have any of the following features: internet access, the ability to communicate with other devices, information previously stored by students (such as formulas, programs, notes, etc.), a computer algebra system, dynamic geometry software
, While calculators may be used for numerical calculations, other mathematical steps must be shown and justified in your written solutions and specific marks may be allocated for these steps. For example, while your calculator might be able to find the x-intercepts of the graph of an equation like y =
