Is it compulsory for all NUSH students to participate in all the Math Olympiads? For the recent American Math Competition, did the Year 1 & 2 students take part in AMC 8, 10 or 12? Or all?

Can anyone advise what is the best age to bring the kid to view the school's open house? Is P4 too early??

Dont think if it is compulsory, but it is a default elective.

They can take more than one of AMC 8,10,12 if interested. But there might be clash of dates - like this year 10 a and 12 a wereon at the same time.

PS- will confirm after checking with dd later tonite

A tad early but if the kid is keen go for it.

Usually in NUSH conducts Maths carnival , where primary 4 students get to go. This helps the students come to know abt the school, see it from their prespective and often this makes it a place they aspire to be ...
And imho, is a better way to introduce the school than the open house.

For AMC they have an option of 10 and/or 12, (no 8 )

Thanks Sun2010.

AMC 8 is for Pri 5

[DVL]

NUSH encouraged all Y1-4 to take AMC 10 and Y5 - 6 to take AMC 12. Tests were conducted a few days ago.

[DVL]

Maths Olympiad is considered an elective. If u sign up for the training, then it is compulsory to participate in the SMO Junior as students will be graded based on assignments given out during training and as well as the SMO results. I think NUSH is probably the only school that rewards their students for participating SMO.

Thank you, Sun_2010. Any idea when will the Maths Carnival be held? Is it open to the public or only by invitation to selected schools?

Thank you once again!
