Learning Outcomes
At Peicai, we provide a comprehensive and engaging mathematics education that equips our students with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed to excel both academically and professionally. Our mathematics curriculum is designed to foster a deep understanding of mathematical concepts and their real-world applications.
Problem Solving and Critical Thinking
We empower students to cultivate robust problem-solving skills and critical thinking abilities, enabling them to confidently tackle a wide spectrum of challenges.Conceptual Mastery
Our students achieve a profound understanding of fundamental mathematical concepts, empowering them to apply these principles across a broad range of topics, from algebra to calculus.Real-World Relevance
We place a strong emphasis on demonstrating the practical applicability of mathematics. By showing students how mathematics is intertwined with other disciplines, we inspire a genuine appreciation for the subject and foster the capability to apply mathematical concepts in everyday life.
Department Programmes and Highlights
Math Competitions
We offer opportunities for students with a strong passion and aptitude for Mathematics to participate in a variety of competitions and events, including:
Singapore Mathematical Olympiad (SMO)
Singapore and Asian Mathematics Olympiad (SASMO)
Singapore Math Kangaroo Contest (SMKC)
American Mathematics Olympiad (AMO)
Senior Mathematical Challenge (SMC)
International Mathematics Modelling Challenge (IMMC)
The Singapore NIE Mathematics Challenge (NIEMC)
BEBRAS
Ngee Ann Math Challenge
Exploring Mathematical Problem Solving with the Graphing Calculator 2025 (organized by Nanyang Junior College)
Math Modelling
Through the integration of various engaging activities, technology, and real-world problem-solving scenarios, students receive support to learn math in a creative and less rigid environment.
Computational Thinking
Students actively participate in coding activities and are encouraged to create algorithms to solve problems. This helps them enhance their analytical and algorithmic thinking skills, which are highly transferable to various fields and careers.
Math Competitions Awards Ceremony for the following competitions
Peicai Secondary School celebrated the mathematical achievements of our students at the Math Competitions Awards Ceremony. The ceremony recognised students who represented the school in the Singapore Math Kangaroo Contest (SMKC), NIE Mathematics Challenge (NIEMC) and Singapore Mathematical Olympiad (SMO). Through these competitions, students had opportunities to engage in mathematical enrichment, encounter challenging problems and apply their learning beyond regular classroom tasks.
The SMKC aims to popularise mathematical enrichment activities and expose students to interesting mathematics problems designed by internationally renowned mathematics educators. Our students attained two Silver awards, four Bronze awards and one Honourable Mention in the competition.
The NIEMC is a 90-minute national online mathematics quiz closely aligned to the MOE mathematics syllabuses for secondary schools, and participants receive personalised feedback on their performance. Across the Secondary 1 to Secondary 3 categories, Peicai students achieved 11 Certificates of Credit, six Certificates of Distinction and one Certificate of High Distinction.
Our students also achieved commendable results in the Singapore Mathematical Olympiad. Ada Wong Kar Lork (2CY) and Chiang Shutong (2CN) received Honourable Mentions, while Yi Yuxuan (3EE) and Hiok Zhi Hao Isaiah (2CE) received Bronze awards.
The awards ceremony celebrated these achievements and highlighted the range of mathematical challenge opportunities available to our students. We congratulate all award recipients and look forward to more mathematics challenges and competitions in Semester 2.
