Grade K-2

Math Kangaroo China🇨🇳Math Kangaroo was proposed by Peter O'Halloran, an Australian mathematician and teacher, in the 1980's. In 1991, this idea was taken up in Paris, France. Very quickly, it spread throughout Europe. The competition began to be called "Kangaroo" because of its Australian origin. The main purpose of Math Kangaroo is to promote mathematical thinking and stimulate an interest in math, by providing students with an opportunity to compare their abilities against the abilities of other students, from different countries around the world. Math Kangaroo is now the largest math competition for school students in the world. As of now, it has been held in 103 countries and regions.
First Mathematics Challenge🇬🇧The First Mathematics Challenge (FMC) has been specifically created to give all pupils, UK and worldwide aged between 7-9, the opportunity to take part in a fun Mathematical Challenge.

Grade 3-5

ELMACON🇨🇦ELMACON was started in 1999 and is organized by PIMS under the guidance of Dr. Cary Chien (formerly of David Thompson Secondary School), Joshua Keshet, Klaus Hoechsmann (the PIMS Education Facilitator), as well as volunteers from UBC, SFU and the Lower Mainland. ELMACON gives students from grades 5 to 7 a chance to experience mathematics as an exciting sport. The contest is modelled after the successful MathCounts competitions (which are also supported by PIMS), but is aimed at younger students. Students from grades 5, 6, and 7 compete in separate divisions. Each division is comprised of three rounds Sprint, Target (both written) and Countdown (a verbal one-on-one competition). The top 25 participants in each grade are acknowledged and the top ten participants from each grade advance to the CountDown Round (oral contest).
Komodo Math Competition🇮🇩Komodo Math Competition is an international math contests for k-12 students. Students from around the world are invited to participate in the math contest according to their age-category. A portion of the exam will test their knowledge of standard school mathematics, and a portion of the exam will test their creative muscle through olympiad-style non-routine problems.

Grade 6-8

Acton-Boxborough Math Competition🇺🇸ABMC is uniquely designed such that every participant can solve a sizable portion of the problems. The difficulty ranges from that of simple arithmetic, algebraic, and geometric problems to that of the AMC. All participants will have problems they can solve and problems that will challenge their mathematical problem-solving skills. The competition was designed with the intent than any student will have a chance to succeed in math. The onsite competition is in April and consists of speed, accuracy, and team rounds. Trophies, medals, and prizes are awarded to high-performing individuals and teams. Additionally, ABMC provides free monthly online contests in October, November, and September. ABMC was founded by Akshay Gowrishankar, Allen Wang, Antonio Frigo, Richard Huang, and David Lu in 2016.
Kenya Mathematical Olympiad🇰🇪The Kenya Mathematical Olympiad is an annual Secondary School mathematics contest organized by the Mathematics Association of Kenya in conjunction with the School of Mathematics, University of Nairobi. The competition is organized with the aim of selecting Kenya’s teams for the International Mathematical Olympiad and the Pan African Mathematical Olympiad. Every secondary school with eligible students can participate and is encouraged to do so. The Competition is open to both Junior and Senior categories.
AMC 8🇺🇸The AMC 8 is a contest for students in grades 8 and below, hosted annually by the Mathematical Association of America to students all over the United States. The AMC 8 is a 25 multiple-choice question, 40-minute competition designed for middle schoolers. The AMC 8 is a standalone competition; students cannot qualify for the AIME via their AMC 8 score alone. The AMC 8 is scored based on the number of questions answered correctly only. There is no penalty for getting a question wrong, and each question has equal value. The American Junior High School Mathematics Examination (AJHSME) was the predecessor of the AMC 8, held from 1985 to 1998.

Grade 9-12

Náboj🌍Náboj is an international mathematical competition designed for teams of five high-school students that represent their schools. The competition lasts 120 minutes during which the teams are trying to solve as many given problems as possible. At the beginning of the competition each team receives six problems. As soon as the team correctly solves any of the problems, it receives a new one. The solutions of the problems are usually numerical. The team that solves most problems correctly in the given time limit wins. Teams compete in two categories: Juniors and Seniors. Students participating in Junior category must be in S4 or earlier year (preferably S3 and S4). The Senior category is open to any team consisting of secondary school students (preferably S5 and S6). Since 2005, Náboj Math has been taking place in multiple countries simultaneously. It gives a unique opportunity for students to compare their abilities and knowledge to their counterparts from other countries. Although the results are evaluated primarily on local level, an international comparison adds an extra motivation and rivalry.
Benelux Mathematical Olympiad🇧🇪🇳🇱🇱🇺The Benelux Mathematical Olympiad (BxMO) is a mathematical competition dedicated to high school students from Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. The contest is individual and consists of a single four-and-a-half-hour paper of four problems, mostly at easy IMO level or slightly below. An official delegation from each country is composed of ten students and three leaders. Half of the contestants are awarded a bronze, silver or gold medal, in the ratio 3:2:1.
International Zhautykov Olympiad🇰🇿Annual International Zhautykov Olympiad, named after the outstanding Kazakh mathematician and academician Zhautykov Orymbek Akhmetbekovich, is one of the most prestigious educational events held in Kazakhstan. Talented contestants from more than fifteen countries tackle sophisticated problems in mathematics, physics, and computer science while collaborating in teams, thereby inspiring a healthy competitive atmosphere during the Olympic week.
