About IJMO

The International Junior Math Olympiad (IJMO) is an international mathematics competition which is held annually in different countries globally. IJMO is organised by SIMCC in collaboration with country council partners in over 50 countries to identify and encourage potential young math talents in every SIMCC participating country.

Objectives

IJMO aims to provide a global platform for students to interact and compete against their worthy opponents. IJMO is the ideal platform to showcase every student’s potential and talent in math in the international math competitions arena!

IJMO empowers students with deep conceptual understanding and logical thinking skills beyond Grade-level. This effectively dtretches every student’s potential beyond Grade-level, allowing them to better apply much higher level logical and analytical skills to solve challenging Math Olympiad problems. Questions in IJMO are carefully designed to develop every student’s higher level of conceptual understanding and logical thinking skills.
