Develop Mathematical Thinking Skills in P3

Primary 3 is a critical year for children in primary school. As children are about to enter Upper Primary, the knowledge gap between Lower Primary and Upper Primary Math Olympiad can be wide and they will need to meet the increasing challenge in Upper Primary.

P3 Math High Achievers

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
Math Olympiad Competition

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).
