Auckland Mathematical Olympiad
The Mathematical Olympiad is an annual Mathematics competition for high school students.
The Auckland Mathematical Olympiad (AMO) is again being hosted by the Department of Mathematics at the University of Auckland. The aims of this Olympiad are to foster interest in Mathematics, and to encourage young people who attend schools in our Auckland region with an opportunity to exhibit their problem solving skills by meeting various challenges put to them by mathematicians.
2025 information
The 2025 AMO will take place on Saturday 10 May from 10am-12pm. Registration forms will be ready by the end of February.
Helpful resources
There are twelve problems in the AMO. Questions 1 to 10 are aimed at years 9 to 11 (juniors), while Questions 3 to 12 are aimed at years 12 to 13 (seniors).
A team of twenty-four markers grade the students’ solutions, ranking them from 0 (no progress) to 3 (a correct solution with evidence).
