Australian Maths Trust

Australian Mathematics Competition

The Australian Maths Trust runs a range of unique competitions and programs to inspire, extend, and recognise mathematical understanding for primary and secondary students. Each year we run six unique competition events and two long form in-school programs for hundreds of thousands primary and secondary students in Australia and around the world.

Our flagship competition, the Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC), has been delivered in Australian and international schools since 1978, engaging generations of young people in the joy of maths and problem solving.

Our Computational and Algorithmic Thinking (CAT) competition focusses on the development of problem-solving skills through algorithmic thinking.

We also run longer, more challenging competitions for talented students. The Australian Informatics Olympiad (AIO) and the Australian Intermediate Mathematics Olympiad (AIMO) are 3 and 4 hours respectively and results are used to identify students to be invited to participate in the AMT’s high-performance programs.

Maths Challenge and Maths Enrichment are problem-solving programs delivered by teachers over a period of weeks to engage and extend students’ mathematical understanding.

All the problems in our competitions and programs are uniquely crafted each year by our expert mathematicians and maths teachers to challenge and engage your students.

The AMT also delivers world-renowned international mathematics and computing competitions including Bebras, the Coding Challenge (replacing OUCC) and Kangourou san Frontiers, a French maths competition inspired by our very own AMC, that now reaches more than six million young people each year.

Our Courses

Where do you hold your classes?
We hold our classes online or on-site on Saturdays at our branch in Pimlico Academy, London.
You can find our timetable here.
What do you need to start learning online?
For lessons you only need a computer or phone with a microphone, camera and Internet access. Wherever you are - in London, Nottingham, New York or Bali - online lessons will be at hand.
When can I take the trial lesson?
You can get acquainted with the school at any time convenient for you. To do this, just leave a request and sign up for a lesson.
What should I expect from the trial lesson?
The trial lesson is a 30-minute online session designed to get a sense of how your child approaches mathematical thinking and problem solving. (In practice, it often runs a bit longer if the student is engaged!)

We typically explore a range of fun and challenging problems drawn from competitions. We adapt the difficulty based on how the student responds, aiming to make it both accessible and stimulating.

After the session, we’ll have a quick conversation with the parent to share observations and suggest a personalised path forward.
I can't attend class, what should I do?
It is OK, it happens! Students have the opportunity to cancel a lesson up to 8 hours before the scheduled time without loss of payment. So you can reschedule it for a convenient time, and the teacher will have the opportunity to
I don't have much free time, will I have time to study?
Learning can take place at your own pace. We will select a convenient schedule and at any time we will help you change the schedule, take a break or adjust the program.
How long is one lesson?
All classes last 1 hour.
