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

MathCON🇺🇸🇨🇦MathCON is an innovative mathematics platform, including a competition series and educational resources and opportunities for students and educators, developed to enhance mathematics education.
Cyprus Mathematical Olympiad🇨🇾The Cyprus Mathematical Olympiad is a Cyprus mathematics competition for students from grade 3 to 12, organized by the Cyprus Mathematical Society. There are five set of problems, each is for two grades. Note that Cyprus Mathematical Olympiad has nothing to do with the selection process of the national teams of Cyprus.

Grade 6-8

Computational and Algorithmic Thinking🇦🇺The Computational and Algorithmic Thinking (CAT) competition gives students the opportunity to develop their problem-solving skills through algorithmic thinking. The competition incorporates unique ‘three-stage tasks’ that encourage students to develop informal algorithms and apply them to test data of increasing size or complexity. CAT is suitable for any maths class and requires no programming experience. It can be used to develop students’ interest and potential in computer programming. The CAT contains unique problems designed each year by leading educators, academics and industry experts to challenge and extend students’ problem-solving skills.
Junior Mathematical Olympiad (JMO)🇬🇧A follow-on Round to the Junior Maths Challenge, the Junior Mathematical Olympiad is a 2 hour Challenge consisting of 16 problems; 10 answer only questions in Section A and six Olympiad style questions in Section B. Entry to the Junior Olympiad is by invitation based on a qualifying JMC score, or by discretionary entry. Around 1,200 students qualify from the JMC each year.
Math Open At Andover🇺🇸The Math Open At Andover is an annual mathematics competition for middle schoolers, hosted by Phillips Academy Andover in Andover, Massachusetts. Through MOAA, middle school students can experience mathematical exploration, collaboration, and competition. Students can attend if they are in 8th grade or below. Teams consist of 1 to 4 students with no restrictions (as everything will be virtual, team members can be from different schools, different states, or even different countries).

Grade 9-12

Baltic Way Mathematical Contests🌍The Baltic Way team competition is held on the shore of the Baltic Sea every autumn since 1990. The name of the competition comes from the mass demonstration for the freedom of the Baltic States organised on August 23, 1989, when people from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania stood hand in hand along the road from Tallinn to Vilnius. The rules of the competition are simple: each country sends a team of 5 high school students, who are expected to solve 20 problems within 4.5 hours. During this time, the team members can and must communicate — otherwise they would not be able to solve such a quantity of problems. Hence, Baltic Way is not only about mathematical knowledge, but also about cooperational skills. For the first two years, only teams from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania took part in the event, but later all the other countries surrounding the Baltic Sea (and also Iceland) joined in. Thus, the contest is now normally held among 11 teams: Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany (represented mainly by Rostock and Hamburg), Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Russia (represented by St. Petersburg) and Sweden. Sometimes organisers also invite a guest team to take part in the contest. In 2001, there was a guest team from Israel, in 2004 and 2014, from Belarus, in 2005, from Belgium, in 2011, from South Africa, in 2015, from the Netherlands, and in 2021, from Ireland.
European Mathematical Cup🇭🇷The European Mathematical Cup (abbr. EMC) is a high school mathematics competition organized by the Croatian association Young Gifted Mathematicians Marin Getaldić in cooperation with various wonderful professors and university students who help organize the competition internationally. The competition is divided into two categories: Junior (students younger than 17 on the day of the competition and who have never participated at the IMO) and Senior (other high-school students or exceptional elementary school students). A student who satisfies the criteria to compete in the Junior category can choose to compete in the Senior category instead. The duration of the competition for both categories is 4 hours. Within that time, the students attempt to solve 4 problems, one from each of the following areas: algebra, combinatorics, geometry and number theory. Modelled by the rules of other international competitions such as the IMO, the only instruments permitted in the competition are the writing and drawing instruments. The use of formulas, calculators and other instruments is prohibited. In terms of required knowledge, the problems are similar to the IMO problems, albeit the problems of the Junior category are usually more elementary and require less knowledge.
Alberta High School Mathematics Competition🇨🇦The Alberta High School Mathematics Competition (A.H.S.M.C.) is an annual mathematics competition for high school students in Alberta. The A.H.S.M.C. consists of two Rounds. The students write the contest in their own schools. Calculators are not allowed. The First Round is an 80-minute paper, consisting of 16 multiple-choice questions. The Second Round is a 3-hour paper, consisting of 5 problems requiring full solutions.
