2026 Euclid Mathematics Contest Registration Guide! What Specific Content Does It Cover? How to Prepare in Phases?

The Euclid Mathematics Contest, hosted by the University of Waterloo in Canada, is one of the most influential middle school math competitions in North America.

I. Euclid Mathematics Contest Registration Guide

Direct individual registration for students is not currently available. Candidates must participate through the following two official channels:

Channel 1: Group Registration via School (Preferred)

Canadian local students: Register directly through the math department or competition coordinator teacher at their high school.

Chinese candidates: Many international schools nationwide have been authorized as official test centers, including:

Well-known international schools in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen.

International departments of some key middle schools.

It is recommended to consult the school's math teacher or competition instructor 2-3 months in advance.

Channel 2: Registration via Authorized Institutions

If the student's school is not a test center, registration can be completed through authorized institutions.
We are an authorized test center for the Euclid Mathematics Contest.

Our registration service includes one-stop services such as registration, payment, test center arrangement, and score inquiry.

Important Reminder: Please complete the registration at least 1 month in advance to avoid missing the deadline.
We are an authorized test center for the Euclid Mathematics Contest, providing offline test venues.

II. In-Depth Analysis of Euclid Mathematics Contest Content

The distribution of knowledge points in the Euclid Contest is relatively stable, but innovations are made in question design and overall difficulty each year.

1. Distribution and Trends of Knowledge Points

Module Proportion 2025 Trend Preparation Focus
Algebraic Operations 30%-40% Significantly increased difficulty, focusing on the comprehensive application of functions, exponents, and logarithms Equation solving skills, function property analysis, exponential and logarithmic transformations
Plane and Analytic Geometry 30% More complex figure designs, integration of multiple knowledge points Comprehensive application of circle properties, special properties of triangles, coordinate system techniques
Trigonometric Functions 5%-10% Stable assessment, focusing on identity transformations Sum-to-product formulas, double-angle formulas, application of solving triangles
Sequences and Series 5%-10% May appear as final challenging questions Recurrence relation solving, summation techniques, identification of special sequences
Combinatorics and Probability 5%-10% Increasing proportion, scenarios closer to reality Flexible application of counting principles, understanding of conditional probability
Basic Number Theory 5% Combined with interesting scenarios such as palindromic numbers Divisibility properties, modular arithmetic, special number characteristics

2. Question Types and Scoring

The Euclid Contest questions are divided into two main types:

Short Answer Questions

Marked with a yellow light bulb icon next to the question.

Only the final answer needs to be provided.

Usually the first few basic questions.

Scoring Criteria: Full marks for correct answers; no process marks.

Full Solution Questions

Marked with a paper-pencil icon next to the question.

Complete problem-solving processes and logical deductions must be shown.

Usually the last few challenging questions.

Scoring Criteria: Marks awarded by steps; partial marks can be obtained for correct processes even if the final answer is wrong.

III. Four-Stage Scientific Preparation Plan for the Euclid Mathematics Contest

Stage 1: Foundation Consolidation (3-4 months before the exam)

Systematic sorting of knowledge system

Build a knowledge tree based on the six modules mentioned above.

Focus on the two core modules of algebra and geometry.

Create formula cards.

Breakthrough in math English terminology

Compile a list of high-frequency English terminology for the contest.

Read 2-3 original English questions daily to train rapid understanding ability.

Establish associative memory of "terminology-concept-example".

Speed-solving training for basic questions

Complete 10-15 basic-level English math questions daily.

Goal: Read, analyze, and solve within 5 minutes.

Focus on improving reading efficiency and information extraction ability.

Stage 2: Ability Enhancement (2-3 months before the exam)

Training in complete problem-solving processes

Learn standard problem-solving formats.

Practice writing complete processes starting with simple questions.

Mutual correction to learn excellent problem-solving expressions.

Breakthrough in comprehensive question types

Focus on overcoming comprehensive algebra and geometry questions.

Master common problem-solving strategies:

Number-shape combination method, variable substitution technique, utilization of symmetry, extreme case analysis.

Complete 2-3 sets of comprehensive questions from past papers weekly.

Cultivation of innovative thinking

Study novel question types in past papers from 2020 to 2025.

Learn mathematical modeling ideas to convert practical problems into mathematical problems.

Join online discussion groups to exchange different problem-solving ideas.

Stage 3: Past Paper Practice (1 month before the exam)

Strict mock exams

Complete one set of past papers every Saturday morning (simulating the actual exam time).

Fully follow exam requirements: 2.5 hours without interruption.

Use official answer sheets to practice standardized writing.

Optimization of time allocation

Recommended time allocation strategy:

Questions 1-3 (Basic): 15-20 minutes → Ensure full marks.

Questions 4-7 (Medium): 40-50 minutes → Pursue high marks.

Questions 8-10 (Challenging): 35-45 minutes → Strive for step marks.

Checking time: 10-15 minutes.

Adjust time allocation according to personal strengths and weaknesses.

In-depth analysis of wrong questions

Establish a classified error log:

Conceptual understanding errors.

Calculation mistakes.

Deviations in problem-solving ideas.

Improper time arrangement.

Review wrong questions weekly to identify weak links for targeted reinforcement.

Stage 4: Sprint and Adjustment (1 week before the exam)

Final screening of knowledge blind spots

Quickly review all formulas and theorems.

Focus on reviewing error-prone knowledge points.

Relearn problem-solving ideas for challenging questions in past 3 years' papers.

Adjustment of exam state

Maintain moderate practice daily (no more than 5 questions).

Adjust work and rest to ensure energy during the exam period.

Prepare exam supplies: Passport/ID card, pencils, eraser, ruler, calculator (compliant model).

Psychological preparation and strategy confirmation

Establish an answering sequence strategy for the exam day.

Prepare psychological plans to deal with challenging questions.

Remember the scoring rules: Step marks are important; write down relevant ideas even if you can't solve the problem.
