APSM-SLP — learn Math Olympiad at your own convenience
In conjunction with the Malaysia Day celebration, TeamMathics from Malaysia is proud to bring you our best product ever — the Advanced Problem-Solving Maths Self Learning Programme (APSM-SLP). Enjoy learning our easy-to-understand Math Olympiad solutions at your convenience, with content we developed ourselves.
Either through APSM-SLP or live class (physical / online), we bring you our best teaching content to master the 4 Core Math Olympiad Topics, namely (1) Algebra (2) Number Theory (3) Geometry (4) Combinatorics.
The jump from school maths to the Olympiad is too big to make in one leap.
Students who go straight from school maths to olympiad problems often stall. TeamMathics bridges the gap in two steps: PSM takes students from school maths to competition maths, and APSM takes them from competition maths to olympiad-level maths.
Swipe the diagram sideways to see all three steps.
The programme
One programme, two stages
APSM is a long-term, well-structured Math Olympiad course. It strengthens MO prerequisite knowledge before advancing to the MO Core Topics — all within the same programme.
Stage 1 · Pre MO
Strengthen MO prerequisite knowledge
Build the strong foundation through our Pre MO content, so students have a smaller learning gap and more confidence to master Core MO skills.
Stage 2 · Core MO
Master the 4 MO Core Topics
x² − 5x + 6 = 0Set 1: Algebra
a ≡ b (mod n)Set 2: Number Theory
∠A + ∠B + ∠CSet 3: Geometry
C(n, r)Set 4: Combinatorics
Two-in-one learning value. One programme fee covers both the MO prerequisite knowledge and the 4 MO Core Topics.
The method
Only at TeamMathics: the OASIS Methodology for Effective Problem Solving
Math Olympiad questions are usually complex, long, wordy or unfamiliar. OASIS, created by the TeamMathics Training, Research & Development (TRD) team, guides students to think systematically and work out step-by-step solutions with meaningful reasoning behind them.
O·A
Observe & Analyse
Read the problem carefully. Understand the words and information given. Turn those words into a clear diagram or model to see how the parts connect.
S·I
Solve It
Do the maths work. This step becomes much easier once you understand and draw out the problem in the first step.
S
Systematic Checking
Check your work to avoid careless mistakes. Use your diagrams, or work backwards, to make sure the answer is right.
Observe & Analyse,Solve It,Systematic checking→ EPS: Effective Problem Solving
OASIS is taught in TeamMathics regular classes (PSM and APSM), and through the DOKA competition since 2019. And now we make it available for APSM-SLP students as well. Don't miss the opportunity!

FAQ
Questions parents ask
Who is APSM for?
Students aiming for better results in Maths Olympiad competitions, or ready to bridge the gap between competition maths and olympiad-level maths. It is ideal for students with Gold, Silver, Bronze or Honourable Mention results in MO competitions. Classes run from Level 2 (Primary 2) up to Senior Secondary (Year 10–13).
How is APSM different from PSM?
PSM (Problem-Solving Maths) bridges school maths to competition maths using DOK-based learning. APSM is the advanced next step: it strengthens MO prerequisite knowledge, then advances to the 4 MO Core Topics — Algebra, Number Theory, Geometry and Combinatorics.
Are classes online or in a centre?
There are three ways to join. Students in the Klang Valley can attend physical classes at a nearby TeamMathics centre. Students in Penang, outstation or overseas can join live online classes. Students who cannot match any class time can opt for the APSM Self Learning Programme (APSM-SLP).
What is the OASIS Methodology?
OASIS stands for Observe & Analyse, Solve It, Systematic Checking — the TeamMathics steps for Effective Problem Solving (EPS). It guides students to think systematically and write step-by-step solutions with meaningful reasoning.
Can APSM help my child join Team Malaysia?
APSM builds the olympiad-level problem solving ability that international Finals demand. Places at the Finals come through first round competition results — for example Gold, Silver or Bronze in DOKA, SASMO, AMO or SMC. TeamMathics is the official training partner that trains Team Malaysia for these Finals.
What does the programme fee include?
One programme fee covers both MO prerequisite knowledge and the 4 MO Core Topics. For physical and online APSM classes, each lesson is 1.5 hours and a fixed 12 lessons per quarter. APSM-SLP is more flexible — students can learn our content at their preferred time and venue. For current fees, welcome to contact our consultants.
