The Visual-Spatial Mathlympics is a concept competition that poses carefully curated questions drawing on the overarching theme of Visual-Spatial Intelligence and Mathematics. We believe that a competition that targets spatial visualisation and thinking skills, combined with problem solving in the field of Mathematics, can help to foster a new generation of spatially literate pupils who are adept at interpreting spatial information and applying appropriate processes of spatial reasoning to solve real-world challenges.

​

The Annual Mathympics was conceived as a competition inspired by athletics. It features two main components. The Vault segment presents challenging questions designed to draw out the mathematical knowledge and abilities of our Mathlympians, while the Sprint segment is a fast-paced round where participants solve as many questions as possible both quickly and accurately.

​

Both of these stellar competitions allow students to compete with thousands others from local and international primary schools all over Singapore, as well as overseas students from the region. They are high-stake competitions because their certificates have implications for placement into Secondary schools, especially schools offering Math, STEM or STEAM for their DSA. To reflect the competition’s rigour, the reverse side of every certificate details key information, including the total number of participants, the number of participating schools, and the criteria for Gold, Silver, and Bronze Awards.

 

We donate part of the proceeds from our competitions to support children battling cancer through the SingHealth Duke-NUS Paediatric Academic Clinical Programme – CCF-Psychosocial and Supportive Care for Paediatric Oncology Programme. We are proud that these competitions not only celebrates achievements but also serve as meaningful platforms to raise awareness and support for an important cause in our community.

​​

Our both competitions, the Annual Mathympics and the Visual-Spatial Mathlympics will continue to be conducted in the Written-Paper mode in ONE round. 

 

 

The 5th Visual-Spatial Mathlympics 2026  will take place on 22 April 2026. 

 

The 19th Annual Mathympics 2026 will take place on 8 July 2026.
