The Canadian Open Mathematics Challenge (COMC) is Canada's premier national mathematics competition open to any student (worldwide) with an interest in and grasp of high school math. The purpose of the COMC is to encourage students to explore, discover, and learn more about mathematics and problem solving. The competition serves to provide teachers with a unique student enrichment activity during the fall term.
Depending on their grade level and performance, students participating in the COMC will also have the opportunity to be invited to write Canadian Mathematical Olympiad, be considered for university scholarships, get invited to math camps, garner awards, certificates and prizes.
The COMC exam is the same for students at all grade levels and consists of three sections which will be written in 2.5 hours:
- Four introductory questions worth 4 marks each.
- Four more challenging questions worth 6 marks each.
- Four long-form proof problems worth 10 marks each.
