Math Olympiad is the highest form of creative thinking and logical reasoning. It trains students to develop critical thinking skills that is required to excel in school and in the workplace.

As only 50-60% of Math Olympiad concepts are taught as part of the school curriculum, students are encouraged to expose themselves to Math Olympiad lessons or practice material before joining the competition.

This form of mathematics is suitable for students who are interested in expanding their mathematical knowledge beyond the school syllabus or building up their portfolio to secure scholarships or seats in top schools.

SEAMO caters to students aged 5 to 18 years.

Students should indicate their academic grade level at the time of registration. The SEAMO Portal will allocate students to their respective papers automatically.
