Numi The Maths Explorer

MOE syllabus-aligned · Primary 1–6

Olympiad training that feels like the real contest

Numi generates original olympiad-style questions, runs timed papers in the real contest format, and teaches the strategies behind them — modelled on the styles of SASMO, NMOS and RIPMWC, calibrated against fifteen years of past papers, and never copying a single question.

The real contest format, not a quiz

Primary 5 and 6 students can sit a 20-question, 60-minute contest paper marked the way real olympiads mark: early questions worth 4 marks, later ones 6, a blank worth 1 and a wrong guess 0 — so children learn the answer-or-leave-blank judgement that decides real medals.

Original questions, calibrated to real papers

Numi analysed RIPMWC and Raffles Mathematical Olympiad papers from 2009 to 2024, plus NMOS patterns, to learn what these contests test and how hard. Every question Numi serves is an original, machine-verified creation in those styles — past papers are copyrighted, and Numi never copies them.

Strategies, drills and personal revision

49 animated strategy lessons teach techniques from telescoping sums to game invariants; a recognition drill trains children to name the right tool from a cold question; and a personal revision paper rebuilds itself from each child’s own misses.

Independent by design

Numi is an independent product. It is modelled on the published styles of these competitions and is not affiliated with SASMO, NMOS, RIPMWC or their organisers.

Frequently asked questions

Which competitions does Numi prepare students for?

Numi trains the styles tested by Singapore’s major primary maths olympiads — SASMO, NMOS and RIPMWC — with question types calibrated against fifteen years of real papers. Numi is independent and not affiliated with any organiser.

Are these real past contest questions?

No — deliberately. Past papers are copyrighted, so Numi generates original questions in the same styles and difficulty, each machine-verified before a child sees it. Children practise the skills without memorising leaked answers.

What does the contest paper format look like?

20 questions in 60 minutes, marked like the real thing: 4 marks each for questions 1–10, 6 marks for 11–20, 1 mark for leaving a question blank and 0 for a wrong answer — the anti-guessing scheme real contests use.

How are solutions taught?

Every question carries a step-by-step animated walkthrough — typed narration, worked visuals, and for wrong answers a diagnosis of the exact mistake, then a fresh twin question to prove the fix.
