A bar model used to solve an addition problem. This pictorial approach is typically used as a problem-solving tool in Singapore math. Singapore math teaches students mathematical concepts in a three-step learning process: concrete, pictorial, and abstract. [3] This learning process was based on the work of an American psychologist, Jerome Bruner.
The paper in Round 1 comprises 5 multiple-choice questions, each with five options, and 30 short answer questions until 2017. From 2018 onwards, The paper has 20 short answer questions instead. The Junior section is geared towards Lower Secondary students, and topics tested include number theory, combinatorics, geometry, algebra, probability ...

The Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) was modeled after the British eleven plus exam (11+) and was first conducted in 1960. Its predecessor was the Secondary School Entrance Examination (SSEE), which was conceived in 1952 when it was known as the Standard Six Entrance Examination up to 1954 and then as Secondary School Entrance Examination when the primary school classes were no longer ...
The school uses the cumulative average point (CAP) system, a 5-point system similar to the grade point average used in the United States. This is unlike most other schools in Singapore, where subjects are graded according to the British GCSE System. The school's mathematics and science curriculums are accelerated.
The content ranges from extremely difficult algebra and pre-calculus problems to problems in branches of mathematics not conventionally covered in secondary or high school and often not at university level either, such as projective and complex geometry, functional equations, combinatorics, and well-grounded number theory, of which extensive knowledge of theorems is required.
The society runs various mathematics-related events in Singapore. Annual competitions such as the Singapore Mathematical Olympiad, Singapore Mathematics Project Festival and SMS Essay Competition are organised by the SMS. Some initiatives are aimed at the general public, such as workshops and lecture series, while others are professional ...
