Visual Spatial Mathlympics
The Visual-Spatial Mathlympics, organized by ‘Learner’s Connections’, is a unique competition designed for Primary 6 students. It combines intricate challenges that involve both visual-spatial intelligence and mathematical skills.
The competition is valuable for many students who are aiming to enter secondary schools through the Direct School Admission (DSA). Participating in the Visual-Spatial Mathlympics 2023 not only offers these students an engaging academic challenge but also enhances their academic portfolios. This advantage is particularly beneficial for those considering applications to institutions that emphasize Mathematics, Science, or Art.
Objective: Visual Spatial Mathlympics
The primary objective of the Visual Spatial Mathlympics is to develop a group of students who possess a strong proficiency in visualizing and comprehending spatial concepts. By promoting advanced spatial reasoning skills, this programme aims to prepare students to approach and solve complicated problems that require spatial thinking.
Who is it for?
This program is for Students who are in the 6th grade or below and attend a specific primary school in 2023.
How can you participate?
Visual Spatial Mathlympics is a school-based competition, so you’ll need to sign up through your school – no independent registrations allowed.
