Does PH have Mathematical Olympiad extracurricular classes? My dd1 has joined such class before in Chongfu...I'm thinking to let my dd to join maths hub's MOT programs, is it necessary or too earlier?

I read somewhere here that PH will select students good in maths (is it in P5?) and co-pay for one term of math olympiad course conducted by maths hub. Iirc, vk2010 mentioned in the maths olympiad thread before that this is insufficient, as other maths olympiad competitors are actually having training consistently on a weekly basis throughout the year.

I thought the most impt competitions are at P5/P6 level so not so sure whether starting formal training at P3 is too early. Is it possible to train her yourself for the moment or die-die must outsource? Nevertheless, if your dd is really keen & can afford the time (you did mention that she looked tired after TLL lessons), then go for it lor.

Most imptly, come back here and update us whether the course is good. We are all waiting patiently for your evaluation. :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

starting math olympiad too early may result in :-

1. loss in interest due to more effort needed to understand questions of higher difficulty pitched at P5 / P6 level....child will lose interest if always \"don't understand\" .......

2. burnt out by the time competition are in P5 / P6

IMHO, starting in P4 would be alright and build the interest from foundation onward

Caveat : every child is different

Hi,


My gal is currently in PHPPS P2, and I started thinking about whether to transfer her to pri schools with affiliation to sec school e.g MGS. Not sure if this is worth it, but I was told that 2 of her friends are considering transfering to NanYang! I read that the cut off points for reputable sec schools are at least 150 and above.

it is our experience that school's prep for MO is insufficient - even for the 'select' group under AMEC - inadequate and insufficient exposure

if your child is truly passionate about math, invest in systematic math training, not just in MO. There are also courses conducted by NUS SMS... held in June / Dec, $150 for 5 mornings over a week

Agree! Like what you said, we try our best to build son's interest from foundation of math.
BTW, what is IMHO?
