Hi ThinkingLoft,

We have IQ Maths classes for P1. The P1 IQ programme is designed to strengthen students’ mathematical and thinking skills through challenging IQ questions, games, as well as hands-on activities. The foundation strengthened will help your daughter in preparing for Maths Olympiad. Our Maths Olympiad programme will start from P2 onwards.

Hi mummies..


ANy feedbacks for Mathshub @ Bukit Timah branch? Are the teachers good? I went to the centre to check out last week but the front staff (a young Filipino lady i guess?) was not very clear about the programs offered and just got me the flyer to read, which I can also find that online. Like I asked what kind of materials they teach, she just got me a clear folder with exercises to flip through. OMG my confidence level sort of waver.... Probably will check out the Bukit Batok branch soon.

I'm planning to send my child for P2 IQ Math next year, wondering if it suits her but no matter how much hearsay, i guess just let her try 1st then monitor on..... Her math is still alright as she was from a Montessori-based childcare ctr, and now I am looking for a programme that can train her mind & evoke further interest to prepare her for future Math challenges ahead.

Have tried S.A.M but it's drilling drilling and more drilling. Too monotonous she gets a bit bored Wonder if Mathhub kinda environment is suitable for her.

Hope mummies can share with me.

Dear bigmama,

Thanks you for considering Maths Hub. Our sincere apologies to your experience at our Bukit Timah branch.

For P2, we are offering 2 types of classes: P2 IQ and MOT Level 1.
1) Our IQ programme is designed to strengthen students’ mathematical and thinking skills through challenging IQ questions, games, as well as hands-on activities.The programme will also cultivate interest in the subject.
2) Our MOT classes are more focused in delivering concepts. Questions will be more geared towards Maths Olympiad type of style.

In summary, IQ programme is more towards cultivating interest whereas MOT programme is inclined to concept-learning. All our materials are carefully prepared by our trainers based on past year questions and experience.

Hi MathsHub,


I intend to sign my kid up for MOT Level 1 but noticed that there are modules covered during the school holidays. As we are working parents, our child are not able to attend the weekdays classes. Will you be opening up weekend classes if the child misses the classes during holidays? Please advise. Thanks.

Hi ksunflower,

Our opening hours during the school holidays is 9am-8pm, Mondays-Fridays. We will not be having any weekend classes during this period.

This holiday, we will be doing Introduction to Level 1(Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide, Box Sums, Picture Maths and Fractions). Since your child will be missing out on these topics, we will advise you to go through the four operations of whole numbers and the basics of Fractions with your child. This will help your child fill up the gap when he/she attend our class from Semester 1 2013 onwards.

Hi all,


Here is the next installment for the Maths Olympiad Challenge! Looking forward to your participation! :rahrah:

A samurai wants to test his sword’s sharpness by using a rope. He took the rope and the rope is folded in half, then in half again, then in half yet again. Then he took his sword and cut the rope in a swift cut across all layers. What is the length of the rope if one of the pieces obtained has length of 150 centimeters and another has length 70 centimeters? (Show all cases)

Then he took his sword and cut the rope in a swift cut across all layers. What is the length of the rope if one of the pieces obtained has length of 150 centimeters and another has length 70 centimeters? (Show all cases)

Here is the answer to the question!
Cutting the rope into pieces we obtained three different types of pieces (see Fig.)
http://i50.tinypic.com/acpx7o.jpg\">
The length of one of the types is exactly twice as much than the other. We denote these lengths: x, 2x and y, respectively, and the length of the whole rope by L. By counting the number of pieces of each type, we see that L = 8x + 4y = 4(2x + y). All possible cases
are presented in the table below, with a and b as the 2 given lengths of two of the pieces::

There are 3 different result:
8a+4b=8*150+4*70=1480cm
8b+4a=8*70+4*150=1160cm
4a+4b=4*150+4*70=880cm


Looking forward to your participation in the next challenge! :rahrah:
