What about undergrad trainers? Would they be competent enough to take on math olympiad classes?

some of the trainers who are undergrad were themselves previously math olympiad champ ....possible 'gooder' than many grads in teaching MO

some undergrad trainers are really good. My DS in MathArena(maths hub tampines), He was under experienced teacher for Olympiad class last year and due to school schedule I need to choose another timing (I was really worried leaving the class handled by a good trainer) . this year handled by fresh graduate My DS liked his class and so I hear the same feedback from sec 1,2 students (SMO) as well. My DS has similar good trainer in school olympiad session .So who traines doesnt matter, it is how skilled they are and how they handle the kids. Good that Parents talk to the centre

Hi Parents & Maths Hub, would need some advice. I was thinking of sending my boy for math enrichment programme at Maths Hub but do not know which suit him best. His school result is above average about 92 since P1. He is now in P4, and he told me he might need help in solving problem sum faster or if there are any useful method or technique to apply when solving some challenging sum. Usually he can do the sum but need to think more and solve the problem sum base on his own concept of understanding and his own working. When checking on Onsponge math, his answer is correct but we realise the given solution working is very straight forward but do not understand how it was work out. He did not attend any enrichment sofar.


What is the different between Olympiad Maths and Heuristic Math and the normal problem sum? Is it true that one need to acquire the skill of handle OM in order to better handle Maths in PSLE. How about just follow what the school teach, would it be enough?

Really hope to clear all these doubts so that can guide my ds better. TIA for any feedback.

Anyone tried the program? My P4 girl is attending math and science program at Mathhub @ bukit batok. And she enjoy them so far. Thinking to sign up English Program as well next year.

I dislike Mathhub coz they publish your kids name and result on their web, even if you quit or did not attend the specific training module such as NMOZ during holiday. If the kids score top/distinction, it may means they just being trainned and by MathHub, else if the result is so so, it is not so nice also...

I pull my kid out due for this reason and join training centre who does not publish students result on the web.

Not only Mathhub do that, other ctr doing the same thing, like Mind stretcher. So long the kids,are in their ctr before.

Hi Awonder

Since your ds is doing well in syllabus we would recommend he take on Olympiad Math. Reason being there’s a higher chance he would develop a stronger interested in math with the challenges and thinking skills involve in Olympiad Math. To handle PSLE math, OM is not crucial. However, the interested, skills and speed develop in OM is generally helpful.

Hi Maths Hub, thanks for your feedback. But I had heard that OM is quite different from the Maths syllabus and mainly for competition and self achievement. Worry if picking up OM, would it be extra burden for him?

[Maths Hub]

Hi Awonder, the end result for individual would be very subjective depending on the child reception to the OM training. Majority of students who relish the challenges would move on and excel in latter years rather than being burdened. However for children not receptive to OM training, focusing on syllabus would be better.

Hi, thanks for your advice. Probably I will ask my ds whether he wants to try OM for a term, I think by then he should be able to tell if the lesson is helpful.

Any feedback on their k2 math?

Thanks.
