PLK is an annual international math competition held in hong kong for primary school level pupils.


RI's world primary math contest leads to the selection of the 4 participants to represent s'pore in this plk contest. RI will hold 2 rounds. Top 50 will be selected from round 1 then the top 4 from round 2.

Last year's team included my DS. On the 4day trip in hk, the 4 had a great time at the contest n were given tours plus disneyland visit. The hotel was nice too. before the trip, RI gave a few free math coaching sessions. Their team did pretty well. DS n the other boys come from 3 different schs but bonded well. Through the experience, DS liked ri even more as the couple of teachers who took care of him left a gd impression on him.

Hwa chOng too will send a team. DS chose to go nwith ri as the selection process seemed more organized.

Thanks for sharing....Your DS is impressive!!! Is he in P6 this year?

My DS was somewhat a late entrant to the Olympiad scene. When in gep P4, he was given a chance in his pri sch to take up math Olympiad enrichment course. As he felt tt he could better learn math on his own without paying for such a course, he did not attend it as he was confident that he would be selected to be part of the advanced math club in p6. So from p4 to p5, he was largely self taught. His passion is math so he loved doing the math olympiad bks tt popular bookstore sells. In p6, as a member of the advanced math club, he had to pay a small amount of money for a few lessons conducted by an external teacher. these lessons prepared him well for apmops n ri’s round 1. His sch teacher prepared him for round 2. And yes, the hey math practice helps too. He loved doing them. Then for plk, ri prepared him with a few lessons.
