Competitions
Australian
Have Sum Fun Online (HSFOL)
HSFOL conducted by the Mathematical Association of Western Australia (MAWA) is a maths quiz of problems and puzzles for school teams of four students. The competition consists of three rounds of 10 questions, with each round accessible on this website for one day, and rounds are a week apart.
The Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC)
This event was introduced in Australia in 1978 as the first Competition in Australian Schools. In this time it has served almost all Australian secondary schools, providing feedback and enrichment to schools and students.
Newcastle Permanent Primary Schools Mathematics Competition
The Competition is conducted throughout the Hunter and Central Coast and is open to all primary school students in Years Five and Six. In 2007 more than 15,500 students from 248 primary schools sat for the competition paper.
Outside the NSW Department of School Education's Basic Skills tests, the competition is one of the largest and most successful of its type in the region, drawing participants from the State and Catholic education systems and other non-government schools.
Primary Mathematics Olympiad
APSMO Inc. is a non-profit organisation established in Sydney, Australia in 1987.

Math Problems Directory
This directory catalogues sources of information about mathematical problem-solving on the internet. Problems are limited to long-answer problems of the type found on Olympiad-type contests or in problem sections of math journals (so no short-answer contests, and no research problems).
International Mathematical Olympiad
The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is the World Championship Mathematics Competition for High School students and is held annually in a different country. The first IMO was held in 1959 in Romania, with 7 countries participating. It has gradually expanded to over 90 countries from 5 continents.
