Singapore Mathematical Society Enrichment Programme   Singapore Mathematical Society Masterclasses   Enrichment Programme for Secondary School Students   Primary Mathematical Olympiad Programme  Singapore Mathematical Society Masterclasses Programme   Details  Audience: Secondary 2 students Description: This programme is jointly organized by SMS, MOE and the Singapore Science Center. It is a one to two day program targetting at mathematically talented students. It is designed to encourage, inspire and engage young people in the art and practice of mathematics by introducing them to aspects, including applications, which may not usually be covered in the school curriculum. Within each class, students are given the opportunity to explore the subject for themselves, either individually or in small groups, with help being on hand if needed. This programme is generously supported by MOE grants. Program: 2013 Masterclasses will be held on 2 - 5 July, 2013. Program Event Photos: Venue: Singapore Science Center Contact person Dr Eileen Tan Email: el_tan@science.edu.sg Enrichment Programme for Secondary School Students Programme   Details  Audience: Secondary 2 to 4 students Description: The philosophy of this programme is to bring real-life mathematics down to the level of secondary schools. We want to tell students that mathematics is not dry and boring – in fact, intellectually-challenging mathematics is fun and not difficult to master! Our approach involves formal lectures, hands-on practice sessions as well as games and puzzles.The style of presentation is tailored to make our materials accessible to students with a good grasp of mathematics at the secondary level. Instructors: All instructors in the programmes are experienced mathematics professors from NUS, NTU and NIE. Available Topics: Individualized programmes as requested by schools, with details of courses available  here  Venue: To be determined by schools requesting programmes Coordinator: Dr. Wang Fei; Tel: 6516-2937; Email: matwf@nus.edu.sg Course Fees: Typically, for a class of 25 - 30 students, we charge $400 per hour and $1200 per 3-hour session.

While some of the teaching materials will be Primary School Mathematical Olympiad type problems, the aim of the programme is to stimulate and develop students' creative thinking and problem-solving abilities. The programme consists of 5 topics (see below) and will be conducted in 5 three-hour sessions. Topics: Number theory: Basic number theory concepts such as common multiples, unit digit, divisibility and remainder will be covered. Students will be taught pattern recognition and useful techniques to solve complex problems involving whole numbers. Combinatorics: This is the branch of mathematics that studies counting problems. Students will learn systematic and efficient ways to do seemingly complicated counting problems. Geometry: Students will be introduced geometrical figures such as polygons and circles. They will learn formulas and techniques to solve geometrical problems involving areas and angles of such figures. Logical thinking: Logical reasoning plays an important role in solving mathematical problems. In this session, students are required to collate information and analyse situation to solve some interesting logical puzzles. Arithmetic: Students will be introduced basic rules for arithmetic and some shortcuts and techniques for solving complex arithmetical problems. They will then use the techniques to solve number puzzles. Instructors: Almost all instructors in the programmes are experienced mathematics lecturers from NUS, NTU and NIE. Dates: Mid-year school holidays: Jun 3-7, 2013 (Mon to Fri) Year-end school holidays: To be confirmed Throughout the year: Individualized programmes as requested by schools Venue: NUS (exact location will be announced later) Individualized programmes will be conducted in respective schools Contact Person: Mdm Angeline Yee         Email: smsmep@nus.edu.sg Contact: 91209313 Course Fees: Early Bird Registration: 8 Apr - 19 May: $200 Normal Registration: 20 May - 31 May: $250 Cancellation fees apply Registration: Online registration from 8 April 2013 Closing Date: 31 May 2013
