很開心澳洲數學比賽拿到credit

今年題目好像有點難。原本不太期望。怎知道小兒在middle primary year 3中 拿到credit。他考時才是K3學期尾。希望


各家長也滿意小朋友的成績啦。

你小朋友讀幾年班?其實是奥數這類题目。如果小朋友試過奥數，可以試吓玩。P

How do you train him?  It is not just a matter of math ability.  If he can take Mid-Prim AMC at 5yr 8m, then he must also be a language genius to understand the problems.  Did he take the English or Chinese version?

Hi, he took the English version. Training? He took a few months Olympian Math (Chinese class) when he was in K3. For AMC, he just did the past papers and I seldom explained to him no matter right or wrong. Why? I let him do it; if he is capable, I will let him try. If he is incapable, I will stop pushing him and set back to one level lower.

To understand the Math's English is not that difficult. No need to be a genius. Frankly, he finished CTY (John Hopkins U) accelerated level 4 this May. Maybe he used to read those Math's type English questions.

What a smart kid!
Could you please advise how can attend the CTY in HK?  My nephew is also a gifted child in Maths.

First of all, there is no CTY centre in HK at all. All courses are conducted on-line.
The admission requirement depends on the grade. If grade 2 to grade 6, you need to take SCAT. Please refer to the following link.

If the kid is studying below grade 2 (that's my case), you don't need to take SCAT right now. You can apply do a free-online test first to determine the level. Then you need to send them a IQ score before formal admission. It's a "buy-time" based. I bought three-month time for my son. It costs about HK$5900. If you can finish a course, pass an exam with good grade, they allow you to continue the other course WITHOUT paying extra $. I asked EPGY directly, they don't allow such flexibility. Nevertheless, since it's a on-line based course, there is NO NOTES at all. All materials are on-line and CAN'T DOWNLOAD. Of course you can repeat as many times as you like. On the other hand, you can accelerate the progress if you are capable.


Hope it helps.
