- The Middle (9th grade)
- the Seniors (10th-11th grades)
155 teams participated in Math Zanzibar– 54 teams in the Youngest league, 35 teams in the Junior, 31 in the Middle and 33 teams competed in the Elder league.
Then 73 teams took part in Team Olympiad. Children were very excited and fully drawn into the competition for the winning titles because everyone put substantial effort into preparing for the competition. In the end, the winners of each stage were rewarded with certificates. Approximately 1000 young passionate mathematicians participated in Math Olympiads.
Regional olympiads are a good way for students to prepare for International Math Olympiads.
For the first time, Ukranian Team won a bronze medal in the team competition, and Ngo Ngok Thai Shon took gold in the personal score. The result in the team score consists of the sum of the three best results among the four participants that the team leaders chose before the start of the competition.

The 59th International Mathematical Olympiad – 2018
The 59th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) was held in Cluj-Napoca in Romania from 3rd to 14th of July, 2018. Ukraine took the absolute 4th place in team rating for the first time in the history of the IMO, giving way only to superpowerful teams – USA, Russia, and China.

Ukrainian team members got 4 golds and 2 silvers medals and unlike all previous years, none of our team members had failed. We are very proud of them! This year everybody on the team solved 2 easier problems, 1st and the 4th, and more complicated 5th problem. Two of our participants (Koval and Yudin) did not quite complete the 2nd problem, but each of them solved really complicated problems – Koval solved the 3rd one, and Yudin solved the 6th. This is how a great success was achieved by the Ukranian dream-team!
