Mathematics Competitions

The Singapore Mathematical Olympiad for Primary Schools (SMOPS) is organised by Hwa Chong Institution. The objective of this competition is to generate interest in Mathematics among pupils in primary schools. It is also an excellent opportunity for our pupils to identify and explore their talent in Mathematics. Our Primary 6 students have been taking part in this competition since it was held.

Participants who are ranked among the top 10%, or the top 200, whichever is lower, in the SMOPS, will be invited to compete with top mathematical talents from the Asia-pacific region in the Asia-Pacific Mathematical Olympiad for primary Schools (AMOPS). We hope to nurture mathematical talents in our girls through such competition.

In 2017, a group of Primary 6 students took part in SMOPS organised by Hwa Chong Institute on 10 April 2017. Two of our girls have done well in the competition and received the following awards:

In 2016, a group of Primary 6 students took part in SMOPS organised by Hwa Chong Institute on 9 April 2016. Three of our girls have done well in the competition and received the following awards:

The National Mathematical Olympiad of Singapore (NMOS) is organised by NUS High School of Math and Science. The objective of this competition is to stimulate interest in Mathematics among primary school students. It also aims to cultivate enthusiasm and instil a love for Mathematics. NMOS provides an avenue to challenge and stretch our students’ mathematical potential. Our Primary 5 students have been taking part in the competition over the years.

The top scorers of the Preliminary Round will be invited to sit for a written paper in the Special Round. We hope to nurture mathematical talents in our girls through such competition.
