QUICK SUMMARY

An international mathematics competition where students solve 25 multiple-choice problems in algebra, geometry, number theory and probability. Open to students in Grade 10 or below who are under 17.5 years old, through an approved competition centre. Rated Advanced Level, with difficulty mainly coming from non-routine problem-solving, time pressure and increasingly challenging questions.

QUICK SUMMARY

An international mathematics competition where students solve 25 multiple-choice problems covering the full high-school curriculum, excluding calculus. Open to students in Grade 12 or below who are under 19.5 years old, through an approved competition centre. Rated Advanced Level, with difficulty mainly coming from advanced problem-solving, broad subject coverage and time pressure.

QUICK SUMMARY

Difficulty varies by division from Beginner to Intermediate, A twice-yearly mathematical problem-solving contest with grade-specific papers, individual results and school team totals. Students in grades two to eight participate through school teams; a separate at-home option provides unofficial score feedback. The challenge is recognising efficient approaches to unfamiliar short problems under a time limit, rather than producing a research project or advancing through elimination stages.

QUICK SUMMARY

An international mathematical modeling contest where teams apply mathematics, data analysis and written communication to a real-world problem. Open to teams of up to four eligible students from the same school, institution or approved program, with a faculty advisor. Rated Advanced, with difficulty mainly coming from building a defensible model and producing a complete technical report within the contest period.

QUICK SUMMARY

A UK-based mathematics competition where pupils solve 25 multiple-choice problems requiring logical thinking and problem-solving. Open to primary-school pupils aged 9–11 through participating schools worldwide. Rated **Beginner Level**, with difficulty mainly coming from non-routine questions, time pressure and increasingly challenging problems.

QUICK SUMMARY

Rated Advanced, This national middle-school mathematics series combines individual problem solving, teamwork and a fast head-to-head finale across four competition levels. It serves eligible U.S. students in grades 6–8, normally through their school, with a restricted non-school route. Success requires accurate non-calculator reasoning under tight time limits and sustained preparation across a multi-stage season.

QUICK SUMMARY

An international mathematics competition where students solve 25 multiple-choice problems in middle-school mathematics and problem-solving. Open to students in Grade 8 or below who are under 15.5 years old, through an approved competition centre. Rated Intermediate Level, with difficulty mainly coming from non-routine questions, broad topic coverage and time pressure.

QUICK SUMMARY

Rated Intermediate, This annual K–12 mathematics competition uses grade-banded multiple-choice papers with national and state rankings for proctored participants. Students enter through a school, centre, remote or virtual option and work at their actual grade level. Success depends on spotting efficient ideas across varied word problems and maintaining accuracy through a 75-minute test.

QUICK SUMMARY

An all-island maths activity programme where students take part in games, puzzles and competitions designed to build numeracy and problem-solving skills. Open to learners of different ages across Ireland and Northern Ireland, with activities available through schools and at home. Rated Beginner Level, with difficulty mainly coming from age-appropriate puzzles, logical thinking and applying maths in engaging contexts.

QUICK SUMMARY

A UK team mathematics competition where students solve collaborative problems across group, crossnumber and shuttle rounds. Open to teams of four Year 12–13 students, or equivalent, through participating UK schools and colleges. Rated Advanced Level, with difficulty mainly coming from non-routine problem-solving, time pressure, teamwork and selective progression to the national final.

QUICK SUMMARY

Rated Intermediate, A school mathematics league built around several short cumulative meets rather than one long annual examination. Schools enter teams from grades 2-9 or AP Calculus and may involve any number of students at the registered level. Compact time limits and cumulative scoring reward accurate reading, flexible problem solving and reliable performance across the school year.

QUICK SUMMARY

Difficulty varies by division from Intermediate to Advanced, MOEMS is a five-contest problem-solving programme delivered monthly through schools, homeschools, districts and institutes in paper or online form. Division E primarily serves grades 4–6, while Division M covers grades 6–8; an adult PICO enrols and supervises each team. Students face five non-routine questions in 30 minutes, so the central challenge is independent reasoning under time pressure across a sustained season.
