Grade K-2
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.
Singapore & Asian Schools Math Olympiad🇸🇬Created in 2006, SASMO is one of largest math contests in Asia. It has expanded from 155 local participants in 2006 to more than 20 000 participants from 19 countries in SASMO 2016. More than 100 schools from Singapore took part in SASMO 2016.
The SASMO Team with the support of Advisory Council spend countless hours carefully developing contest papers which will touch on both school and Olympiad maths. This combined effort allow participants to do better compared to pure-Olympiad papers, since they are familiar with some questions and are able to put on their thinking caps for others, bringing out the inner mathematician in them.
With realistic and high standards, SASMO contests aim to stretch the untapped thinking potential of the student population, their participation in SASMO will help them improve in school mathematics as well as higher order thinking skills (HOTS).
Grade 3-5
Bangladesh Mathematical Olympiad🇧🇩Bangladesh Mathematical Olympiad (BdMO) started its journey in April 2001. It's months-long, country wide festivals around mathematics. It is open for school & college going students (upto class XII) of the country. The usual timing of the festivals is around December - February.
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).
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
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.
