Raffles Institution Primary Mathematics World Contest – Competition Mathematics Preparatory Course

Raffles Institution has once again the privilege to organize and train another team of primary school students to represent Singapore in next year's competition in Hong Kong. Their objective in organizing the above competition is to enable primary school students to have the opportunity to participate in more international and overseas mathematics competitions. Through this event, they hope to provide teachers and students a platform for interaction and exchange of mathematics knowledge, both locally and overseas.

Details of the competition will be given in Jan 2008 and registration will begin then. However, to allow students and teachers to better prepare for the competition, Raffles Institution would be inviting schools to subscribe to their Competition Mathematics Preparatory Course. This would provide students the opportunity to attempt selected questions from their past year competitions and receive solutions for the questions.

Lasallians who are interested to subscribing to their Competition Mathematics Preparatory Course, please study the details below.
