Canada Lynx Mathematical Competition (CLMC)

The Canada Lynx Mathematical Competition(CLMC) is open to students in grades K-12, and suggested for students in grades 7-12.  The CLMC is an inclusive national math contest that provides feedback upon the completion of the exam to help develop students' skills in math.  This competition was created to foster an interest in mathematics among students regardless of their skill level, to increase student confidence in their math abilities, and to present mathematics as a fun and playful subject to students. The CLMC will be available via PDF delivery.

The CLMC is 90 minutes long, comprising 15 multiple-choice questions based on the grades 7-11 core curriculum.

The competition takes place the beginning of October each year. This allows teachers to use the CLMC as a tool to assess their students at the beginning of the school year! It also serves as practice for students with advanced mathematical skills who wish to participate in the Canadian Open Mathematics Challenge (COMC) that takes place later in October.
