Top Math Olympiad Training for Primary School

Explore concepts at a deeper level, developing ability to solve complex problems

In Primary 3, we will delve deeper into calculation, counting, combinatorics, and word problems, going beyond surface-level calculations or simple word problems. Our goal is to guide children in exploring the crux of math problems.

“Learning to Think Deeply” — Deepening Four Key Abilities

Calculation

Improve their problem-solving skills and accuracy through tips and tricks in calculation
Learn to apply advanced mathematical formulas and equations to handle complex calculation problems

Data Processing

Enhance higher-order thinking and learn more advanced formula-based tools for quick counting.
Deepend knowledge of advanced number theory

Logical Reasoning

Build upon their ability to observe changes in patterns and expand reasoning ability
Develop calculation skills, expanding to multiplication and division
Learn additional methods (e.g., enumeration, cases) to handle complex problems with ease,

Practical Application

Combine models techniques and other concepts (e.g. remainders, difference) to solve complex problems.
Develop ability to apply various mathematical tools and methods flexibly and independently to solve real-life problems
Cultivate logical reasoning and analytical skills, establishing a solid foundation for upper primary learning.

Establish Knowledge Framework of Concepts in Math Olympiads

Primary 3 is an important stage for students as they move from Lower Primary to Upper Primary where we will build students' knowledge framework. We will also introduce 3 new modules: Geometry, Number theory, and Journey Problems. By the end of Primary 3, students will have a solid foundation in all 7 modules of Math Olympiad, equipping them with the necessary knowledge and skills to tackle future challenges.

Geometric Recognition

Deepened understanding of specific properties of geometric shapes, including angles, perimeter, and area
Learn basic theory required for Upper Primary concepts such as polygons and geometric theorems

Abstraction

Deepen understanding of divisibility, multiplication, and place value
Extract mathematical patterns and models from numbers, enhancing their ability to solve various complex problems

Suitable for high ability learners

Learning Outcomes

Achieve the gold medal in the Grade 3 SASMO (Singapore and ASEAN Schools Math Olympiad)
Place in the top 1% of their school and develop strong math foundation for in the three major competitions in Upper Primary (NMOS, RMO HD, and SMOPS).

Learning Goals

Review and master core topics learnt previously
Building a framework - Understanding and flexibly applying knowledge points that have not yet been learned

Topics taught

- Geometry: Basic geometric shapes and their properties, including triangles, trapezoids, and common geometric theorems. They will also learn advanced geometric techniques, such as half-models.
- Number Theory: Explore fundamental number theories, including divisibility, primes, composite numbers, GCD (Greatest Common Divisor), and LCM (Least Common Multiple).
