What is Maths Warriors?

Math Warriors is a game that tests student’s ability to do mental sums as well as strategic thinking. There is also an element of luck involved which makes the game even more exciting. History It was designed in 2002 by Henry Ong, the Founder of SASMO to help students weak in math to develop faster mental sums skills and master the Times Table. It is used by many Singapore Primary schools to improve mental math processing, strategy and thinking skills. The first National Primary Schools Maths Warriors’ Challenge started in 2004 and was hosted by Nan Hua Secondary School. It was introduced as an event in the inaugural Singapore International Math Olympiad Challenge last year and was very received. How to play : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE7SnaK5C5w

Student’s Feedback: “I feel that the MindGym has developed puzzle-solving skills in Rafflesians. It was fun and a great way to teach us how to solve problems both in the academic and in life. It also taught us not to give up easily when facing challenging problems. In the sec 1 Puzzle Design MindGym brought out creativity in students when they were asked to make their puzzles, logic when IQ logic took place and thinking when Puzzle Challenge took place. The MindGym was good enrichment for us students.” Sec 1J, Ong Han Yang Raffles Institution “The West Cluster Inter-School Thinking Sports Day was fun and interesting. There were many challenging puzzles to solve and I enjoyed doing most of them especially the one with the 9-coloured cubes – IQ Logic. My team won a prize in the Mind’s Eye Station and this made us feel extremely happy as we worked well together.” Nanthini , Pri.4D Qifa Primary School 15
