Origin

Maths Warriors was created in 2004 by Henry Ong, founder of the International Scholastic Trust and SIMCC (Singapore International Math Contest Centre). The goal was a competitive game that builds genuine mental arithmetic speed, not rote memorisation.

Facing an opponent and a ticking clock, players calculate faster and more accurately than they ever would on a worksheet.

Competitions

  • SIMOC, the Singapore International Math Olympiad Challenge, which brings students from across Asia and the world.
  • The Singapore National Primary Schools Maths Warriors Challenge.

Students who practise here play by the same rules used in live tournaments.

What it builds

  • Arithmetic fluency: + − × ÷ under time pressure
  • Order of operations, used for real when building expressions
  • Strategy: which die to attack, Strength or Mind, and what to protect
  • Calm under pressure: accurate maths while the clock runs

Growing worldwide

Maths Warriors is launching as a national maths competition in Cambodia and other countries, supported by the Cambodian Student Leadership Council (CSLC), the Global Student Leadership Council (GSLC) and IJHS.
