The WMI was co-founded by the President of the Chinese Mathematical Society and a professor at the University of California in 2013 to connect academies and educational institutions from around the world. The competition is held in rotation in countries such as China, Malaysia, Vietnam, Korea, Japan, etc.
In the exam, candidates will have to go through 2 parts including multiple choice and essay to win medals and prizes. Diamond medal (top 3% of students with the highest scores in each grade); Gold medal (top 15% of students with the highest scores), Silver medal, Bronze medal and Encouragement prize. Before the Final Round, member countries organize preliminary rounds locally to select candidates for the exam.
The Final Round of the WMI 2025 International Mathematics Competition is assessed to have a tight structure, rich in creativity, clear classification and close connection with real life.
The exam not only tests basic mathematical knowledge but also focuses on training logical thinking, problem-solving skills, and application to practical situations. In particular, many questions incorporate facts related to the year 2025, creating curiosity and practical connections for candidates.
The exam questions at the primary level are vividly constructed, close to real-life situations such as calculating school hours, dividing cakes, folding paper, shopping, calendars, etc., while the questions at the secondary and high school levels demonstrate mathematical depth through problems on spatial geometry, probability combinations, logical reasoning, advanced arithmetic and optimization.
