Waterloo Kellett Math Competition (Grade 10)

• The Pascal, Cayley and Fermat (PCF) Contests are a fun opportunity for participants to explore the potential of mathematics and their role in it.
• Designed to be accessible both to those that have written math contests in the past and to those who haven’t, these multiple-choice contests can help learners build confidence and inspire them to get excited about math.

Audience

• Students in Grade 9 or below are eligible to write the Pascal Contest.
• Students in Grade 10 or below are eligible to write the Cayley Contest.
• Students in Grade 11 or below are eligible to write the Fermat Contest.

Mathematical Content
