SMC 2025: From Mathematical Thinking to Global Citizenship

Last weekend, nearly 500 candidates from Southern high schools came together to compete in the Singapore Math Challenge 2025 (SMC 2025) in an atmosphere of excitement and nervousness among the candidates and their parents.

SMC2025 is not only an intellectual playground but also a vivid proof of the strong rise of the Vietnamese student generation. According to Geniebook - the organizing unit authorized by the Singapore International Mathematics Center, this exam has surpassed the limits of a traditional playground, becoming a pioneering platform where young mathematical talents are nurtured and nurtured to confidently become global citizens.

The image of the competition operation team has been seriously invested in by the Organizing Committee over the years of SMC.

From the success of 2024 to the mark of 2025

With the number of candidates in 2025 increasing dramatically by nearly 50% compared to 2024 (334/500), SMC 2025 shows its success in promoting educational investment not only from parents but also bringing academic values ​​and applications in the future as technology develops. It can be said that from the role of the initiator, Geniebook has continued its proud journey in the role of organizing and creating an international playground for Vietnamese students.

From early morning, students from schools in Ho Chi Minh City gathered seriously to take attendance at the exam school.

Over the years, the competition has witnessed impressive growth in both the number of contestants and the number of schools sending students to participate, reflecting the strong influence and increasing prestige of a professional mathematics playground. From the initial "thin" number of contestants, SMC has now attracted the attention of thousands of young talents from many schools across the country, creating a vibrant and enthusiastic academic community.

This growth comes not only from the quality of the exam questions compiled by a team of leading experts from the Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE), but also from the trust of parents and students in a philosophy of education for humanity. SMC not only assesses the ability to calculate but also explores the logical thinking, creativity and problem-solving ability of candidates. This is the core difference, helping SMC become one of the most popular math exams in Vietnam.

Joining forces to create the future: Geniebook and its partners

SMC 2025 marks a new step forward with the support of leading strategic partners in the field of education. On this journey, Geniebook has received support from Victoria School, MindX and Renaissance School. Each partner brings its own core values, but all share the same vision: creating a learning environment where students can develop comprehensively.

MindX: Mission to create a technology valley

MindX, a partner of SMC 2025, brings a different perspective: Mathematics is the foundation of technology. In his speech at the opening ceremony, a representative of MindX shared his passion: “MindX is a place where students can access knowledge of mathematics, technology, programming… but also an environment to nurture passion, practice logical thinking, creativity and problem-solving ability”.

MindX's vision is to build a "Little Silicon Valley" in Vietnam and this can only be achieved when the young generation is equipped with logical thinking and critical thinking from an early age. Partnering with SMC is a strategic move, affirming MindX's belief in the power of mathematics in creating a generation of future engineers and founders.

This collaboration has created a comprehensive picture for SMC 2025. Geniebook provides the platform and expertise, Victoria School creates the space and environment, while MindX and Renaissance School bring new perspectives on the connection between mathematics with technology and other fields.

The companionship and support of parents for the Organizing Committee and contestants in the competition is an important part of SMC's success over the years.
