Thanks, dazzlego.

So, we have to wait for the school to choose the pupils to participate in the competitions?
Which competitions can we register on our own, without the school?

For competitions like SMOPS and NMOS, you must register through the school.

You may want to try American Mathematical Competition (AMC). There are AMC 8 (for those Grade 8 & below), AMC 10 & AMC 12 for Grade 9 & above. You may register through school or on you own. My DS just participated AMC 8 yesterday which I had registered on my own.

Anyone took part in AMC 8 yesterday ? How do you find the paper ? Easy or difficult ?

What is question 19?


Question 25
Area of 4 equal triangles = 1
4 x (ab/2) = 2ab -> 1
ab -> 1/2

Your ans is correct, too bad both my DS got it wrong. Q24 is it 4-pie/pie ? Can't recall Q19 & the rest can you remember ? If I dun remember wrongly, have to score at least 21/25 to get honor distinction roll.

Is your son in P4 this year? Did he train in school or at a private centre? Am thinking of enrolling my son and let him try. He's in P3 going P4
