Mathematical Content

Most of the problems are based on curricula up to and including the final year of secondary school. Some content might require students to extend their knowledge and the best way to familiarize oneself with commonly appearing topics is to practice using past contests.

Schools can register for contests online by the deadline. View fees.

Schools that have not registered for previous contests are encouraged to participate, and can start by filling out a New School Application form.

Contest Preparation

The Grade 12 open courseware, Mathematics Resource Manual and Euclid eWorkshop can help you brush up on the material and provide many problems with solutions. Past contests give you a sense of the style of the questions and include problems ranging from easy to very challenging.
