Expo Genius Math Tournament at Kids Enrichment Expo Oct 2026

🧠 Expo Genius Math Tournament – How It Works

A confidence-building, high-quality mathematics competition designed to challenge young minds and reward accuracy, focus, and problem-solving.

This tournament is created for primary school students who enjoy thinking, reasoning, and tackling increasingly challenging maths questions in a fair, supportive environment.

Participants compete individually in their own school-year division, ensuring fair and age-appropriate competition.

👧👦 Eligibility

Open to primary school students in three divisions:

• Year 1–2

• Year 3–4

• Year 5–6

Each child competes only within their own age group.

⏱ Competition Format

This is a 60-minute written mathematics tournament.

• Total Questions: 40

• Questions increase in difficulty across four sections

• No calculators, notes or electronic devices allowed

Children will complete the paper independently in a supervised competition room.

🧮 Scoring System (Accuracy First)

Questions are grouped into four sections with increasing difficulty:

• Marks are awarded only for correct answers

• No negative marking

This rewards both foundational skills and higher-level problem solving.
