I am a teacher of gifted program in primary school and currently I am developing Olympiad Curriculum (topic-wise) for my students. I have those topics that could need some help in terms of questions:

  • Number theory: common multiples, unit digit, divisibility and remainder
  • Combinatorics: counting figures
  • Geometry: area of polygons and circles
  • Logical thinking: logical puzzles
  • Arithmetic: solve complex arithmetical problems, number puzzles..

Can anyone suggest good books/e-books for me to add in question banks? Thank you!

    In English, at least in the US, a person with extraordinary talent, particularly a child, is called "gifted." As in: God, or Odin, or the Flying Spaghetti Monster gave this person a gift at birth (rather than talent achieved through hard work.) @tatan Gifted programs are programs for gifted students. – Thomas Andrews Jul 22 '16 at 12:51

  • I think this could help everyone! Thanks for the post :) however, do you think this is the level the OP is looking for? Will primary school students be able to grasp this? I would really like to know what the OP had in mind (types of questions and difficulty) @Andrew Hoang – Joshua Lochner Jul 22 '16 at 13:02
  • @JoshuaLochner This books start from quite basic level and if there's someone to explain you (a good teacher) this books are a real asset to you...btw,if you like my post,you can upvote it...;-) – Soham Jul 22 '16 at 13:04
  • Agreed ;) Upvote :D do you maybe have any other suggestions? I would love to read some of these. Also would it be possible to provide a "grade" or "year" for each book? – Joshua Lochner Jul 22 '16 at 13:19
  • @JoshuaLochner Yeah...I hope you would love to read these.... – Soham Jul 22 '16 at 13:23
  • @JoshuaLochner "Year" and "Grade" are relative terms...if you are interested you can read all the books today only....See this post-http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/150242/teenager-solves-newton-dynamics-problem-where-is-the-paper ....If 16 year boy can solve 300 year old maths problem given by Newton,it proves that grade or year is not necessary to gain knowledge.... – Soham Jul 22 '16 at 13:25

    In my opinion, the contents in those links provided by tatan is not suitable for primary students (except for the "genius". This type I cannot handle xD ). But thank you anyway for supporting this topic tatan. @JoshuaLochner – Andrew Hoang Jul 23 '16 at 13:27
  • @AndrewHoang These books are the ones I use myself for self study...I don't feel that they are for "the genius"...but they are for the "dedicated" ones....by the way,the students have you as a teacher...you can make their job easier.... – Soham Jul 23 '16 at 15:37
