Introduced in 2006, Singapore and Asian Schools Math Olympiad (SASMO) is one of the largest math contests in Asia which aims to engage, encourage and inspire student interest in mathematical problem solving. Catering to the top 40% of the student population, it provides a challenging feat of which CIS is now a regular participant.

Student volunteers from grades 3 to 6 demonstrated perseverance and commitment as they prepared for the 90 minute examination that requires students to not only solve mathematical concepts but also demonstrate their understanding through an in-depth explanation of how they came to solve it. The inquiry-based approach at CIS helps students approach mathematical problems in different ways and we are proud to see so many of them achieve success every year in the competition.

226 students from Lakeside and 55 students from TK completed the specific grade-level exams. Results were released in June 2022, and we are delighted to share that 79 of our grade 3 to 6 students placed gold, silver or bronze.
