The Ontario Mathematics Olympiad (OMO) is an annual mathematics competition for Grade 7s and 8s across Ontario, hosted by the Ontario Association for Mathematics Education (OAME). [1] [2]
Each school can send one team to the OMO, which qualifies by placing in the top two in a regional competition. [3] Each team consists of one Grade 7 boy, one Grade 7 girl, one Grade 8 girl, and one Grade 8 boy. The competition has four stages; individual, pairs, team, and relay. The individual stage is completed by writing a test. The two pairs in the pairs stage are the Grade 7 boy and the Grade 8 girl, and the Grade 8 boy and the Grade 7 girl. Each pair has a set amount of questions to solve. The team stage is completed similarly, with a series of questions. The relay stage is when each member of the team receives a question to answer, but the solution for that question depends on the solution of a previous teammate's question. Thus, if any member of the team does their question wrong, the solutions afterwards are wrong as well. [1] [4]
There are awards for the top three teams in each of the pairs, team, and relay stages of the competition. For the individual stage, the top three Grade 7 boys, Grade 7 girls, Grade 8 girls, and Grade 8 boys are awarded. There is also a grand prize for the overall winning team. [1] [3]

The Canadian Computing Competition (CCC) is an annual programming competition for secondary school students in Canada, organized by the Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing at the University of Waterloo. Stage 1 is written at high schools and can be written in the programming language of the students' choice, with only a few, such as Maple and Mathematica, disallowed. There are two levels of problems presented, Junior and Senior. The top 20 students in the Senior division are invited to the University of Waterloo to participate in Stage 2, the Canadian Computing Olympiad (CCO). CCO participants are restricted to languages permitted at the IOI, which currently includes only Java, C and C++.. The CCO is used to select students to represent Canada at the IOI.
The United States of America Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO) is a highly selective high school mathematics competition held annually in the United States. Since its debut in 1972, it has served as the final round of the American Mathematics Competitions. In 2010, it split into the USAMO and the United States of America Junior Mathematical Olympiad (USAJMO).
The American Mathematics Competitions (AMC) are the first of a series of competitions in secondary school mathematics that determine the United States team for the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). The selection process takes place over the course of roughly four stages. At the last stage, the Mathematical Olympiad Summer Program (MOP), the United States coaches select six members to form the IMO team. The United States Math Team of 1994 is the only team ever to achieve a perfect score, and is colloquially known as the "dream team".
