Mathematics is increasingly useful in everyday life. In modern society, we rely heavily on Mathematics to solve problems. Mathematics Olympiad competitions are held in Singapore. The Singapore Mathematical Olympiad (SMO) is a large-scale, renowned Mathematics competition held in Singapore on an annual basis. Each year, SMO attracts thousands of pupils all over the nation to participate in this popular Mathematics event.

    Creative Mathematics is used in Mathematics Olympiad to test the logical deduction of the competitors. In the past few years, Creative Mathematics questions have appeared in the Singapore PSLE examination. If pupils have been exposed to Creative Mathematics, they will not have problems answering the questions.

    This book is specially written for beginners interested in Mathematics Olympiad. It will be an excellent complementary text for primary school pupils. Each chapter includes numerous creative problem-solving questions to develop pupils’ ability in this area.
I would like to encourage all mid and upper primary school pupils to go through the problems in this book. This will provide them with a better understanding of the function of Mathematics and how it can be applied to solve everyday problems.
