AMO
The American Mathematics Olympiad (AMO) is open to Primary 2 to 6, Secondary 1 to 4, and Junior College 1/2 students (Grades 2 to 12) worldwide.
Unlike traditional mathematics examinations, AMO encourages students to develop mathematical reasoning, problem-solving strategies, and critical thinking through challenging and engaging questions. The competition introduces important mathematical concepts and encourages students to apply their knowledge creatively beyond routine classroom exercises.
The contest duration is 90 minutes, with a separate examination for each grade level. Each paper consists of 25 questions across multiple-choice and open-ended sections, totaling 100 points. Calculators are not permitted. Participants can earn awards, medals, and certificates, while their performance reports help identify strengths and areas for improvement.
