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.

Raffles Mathematical Olympiad🇸🇬The Raffles Mathematical Olympiad, previously Raffles Institution Primary Mathematics World Contest (RIPMWC), started in 1996 with the aims to promote interest in Mathematics and develop problem-solving abilities through a friendly competition for MOE Primary School students.
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.
Grade 6-8
Gauss Contests🇨🇦The Gauss Contests introduce students in Grades 7 and 8 to a broader perspective of mathematics than their school curriculum can typically provide in a fun, accessible way. Intriguing problems and a multiple-choice format make the Gauss contests a wonderful opportunity for all participants to grow their interest in and curiosity about the power of math.
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.

European Girls’ Mathematical Olympiad🌍The European Girls’ Mathematical Olympiad (EGMO) is the premier European mathematics competition, made exclusively for high school female students who enjoy mathematics beyond the regular school curriculum. Started by the United Kingdom in April 2012, EGMO has grown since then and now includes over fifty countries, welcoming participants from beyond Europe.
EGMO aims to inspire girls to take part in national and international mathematics competitions, providing more opportunities for mathematical development. It serves as a platform to amplify the presence of young female mathematicians on the global stage with the possibility to find associates and make remarkable connections while fostering cultural exchange among teenagers worldwide. It encourages young females to become scientists and boosts the number of girls in IMO teams.
Participation is by invitation only, with each country nominating up to four students. Like the International Mathematical Olympiad, EGMO unfolds over two days, featuring three problems each day. Medals are awarded to about half of the students, with additional recognition for outstanding problem-solving skills.
