Grade K-2

Hong Kong Mathematics Kangaroo Contest🇭🇰MKC is one of the largest mathematics competitions in the world. The contest was first held in France in 1991 and was named “kangaroo” because the contest format drew from the previously held Australian Mathematics Competition. As MKC became very popular among students, the contest has first spread from France to European countries, and has further expanded to around the world. Now, MKC is coordinated globally by “Association Kangourou Sans Frontières” (AKSF). Magic Square Association (MSA) is the official organiser of MKC in Hong Kong as well as Macau. MSA aims to promote the mathematical education in Hong Kong and Macau. To participate in the contest, students in kindergarten, primary, or secondary schools must meet at least one of the following criteria: - Students registered in schools located in Hong Kong or Macau. - Permanent residents of Hong Kong or Macau. - Holders of valid visas issued by the Hong Kong SAR or the Macau SAR government.
Southeast Asian Mathematical Olympiad🇸🇬The SEAMO (Southeast Asian Mathematical Olympiad) was established in 2016 and is now a highly influential mathematics event in the Asia-Pacific region. Every year, students from more than 20 countries and regions will participate this event. Since 1991, its founding team (Terry Chew Institute of Mathematical Olympiads) has developed a unique framework for mathematics education by studying the Mathematical Olympiad curricula in Singapore, the United States of America, Russia and other regions. The SEAMO syllabus is therefore not only based on the Singapore Mathematical Olympiad curriculum, but also incorporates elements from international mathematics education systems, aiming to comprehensively deep understanding of mathematical concepts, as well as to stimulate students’ creative and critical thinking in the problem solving process. The SEAMO X (Southeast Asian Mathematical Olympiad Extended Round) is consider as the international final of SEAMO. The Top 40% of Candidates in SEAMO will be registered in the Champions Division of SEAMO X. Candidates will be ranked by Grade Level against all international candidates.

Grade 3-5

Think Academy Singapore Math Olympiad🇸🇬Think Academy Singapore Math Olympiad (TASMO) is a math competition organized by Think Academy Singapore in September annually. The competition is open to K2 to P6 students. The test questions are set by a team of experts, including the former coach of China and Saudi Arabia national Math Olympiad team. The questions are based on the seven abilities of calculation, geometric cognition, data processing, abstraction, logical reasoning, practical application, and creative thinking. The competition is suitable for students who have strong interest and aptitude in math. Outstanding individuals and teams will be awarded. The medalists will be invited to global Think Math Competition to represent Think Academy Singapore and compete with top Think Academy students in USA, Canada, UK, Australia, Malaysia.
International Spirit of Math Contest🇨🇦The International Spirit of Math Contest is presented by Spirit of Math®, the global leader in math enrichment for high-performing students and teacher training for over 30 years. With more than 30 years of success and over 11,000 students enrolled in over 40 campuses across Canada, USA, and Pakistan, Spirit of Math® is changing the equation for math minds around the world. Held globally, the International Spirit of Math Contest gives students from grades 1 to 6 the opportunity to prepare, apply, and showcase their knowledge on the global stage. The contest provides an opportunity for students to have fun and to develop their mathematical problem-solving abilities.

Grade 6-8

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.
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.

Grade 9-12

Pan-African Mathematics Olympiads🌍The Pan African Mathematics Olympiad (PAMO) is an annual prestigious event of the African Mathematics Union (AMU) organized each year, since 1987, in an African Country where the best pupils in mathematics of secondary education who are less than twenty (20) years old, are invited to compete. PAMO aims to foster a spirit of excellence and camaraderie among young African mathematicians. Purpose and Objectives: Promote Mathematics: To encourage the study and appreciation of mathematics among African youth. Identify Talent: To identify and nurture mathematical talent across the continent. International Standards: To provide a platform for students to compete at a high level, comparable to other international mathematics competitions. Format Participation: Open to high school students from African countries. Team Composition: Each participating country team consists of six contestants, three girls and three boys, a team leader, a deputy team leader and observers Competition Structure: The competition usually spans two days and includes two rounds of challenging mathematical problems that test various areas of mathematics such as algebra, geometry, combinatorics, and number theory.
Romanian Master in Mathematics🇷🇴The Romanian Master of Mathematics (RMM) (also known for a period as the Romanian Masters in Mathematics and Sciences) is an annual competition for students at the pre-university level, held in Bucharest, Romania. It is one of the most challenging international high school mathematics competitions. It allows students to demonstrate their mathematical abilities, exchange ideas, and to enhance cross-cultural contacts. The contestants compete individually in Mathematics. The participating teams (national and local teams) can have up to four official contestants and several nonofficial contestants (plus two coaches: a leader and a deputy leader). The contest follows the same structure as IMO. The team score is based on the combined scores of three highest official contestants. Each year the winning country brings RMM trophy back to get its name engraved and returns it to the competition the next year.
Indian Regional Mathematical Olympiad🇮🇳The Regional Mathematical Olympiad (RMO) is the second stage examination of the Mathematical Olympiad Programme in India. It is a three-hour examination with six problems. The RMOs are offered in English, Hindi and other regional languages as deemed appropriate by the respective Regional Coordinators. The problems under each topic involve a high level of difficulty and sophistication.
