In 2015, VMTS was initially initiated jointly by a group of mathematics pationate minds meant to provide middle school pupils with new sorts of mathematics beyond school curriculum. Now the competition has attracted up to ten thousands contestants from across regions of Vietnam. Our mission remains the same: to generate an interest in mathematics, to enrich mathematical exposure for young generation of Vietnam so that they can have a better future.
The first round of VMTS offers short answer questions only, on a wide range of topics. Each grade has its own set of fifteen questions which take place over 75 minutes. The second round requires contestants to solve five more challenging problems, giving full justification for their answers.
The questions that are used in the competition are meant to be fun and engaging to pupils and teachers as well to complement their math curriculum and hone learner’s problem solving skill.
We appreciate your contribution for the collective success of the competition. You can get involved in in the following ways:
- problem proposals with solutions
- logistics and coordination tasks of events
- puzzle hunts for contestants

The ratio of three sorts of medals is 1 : 2 : 3. About half of the contestants in Round 1 are invited to the second round. All the contestants competing in Round 2 are awarded medals. Top schools having more than 20 contestants in a single year are awarded medals, on the overall performance of their pupils combined.
