In the NMOS math competition, Figure Counting is one of the most consistent and frequently tested topics. Based on an analysis of past-year papers, this topic appears every single year, often in different formats that test a student’s observation skills and structured thinking.
To give a clearer picture, here are some examples from past-year questions:
NMOS 2025 Q32
NMOS 2024 Q2
NMOS 2023 R1 Q14
NMOS 2023 R2 Q12
NMOS 2022 R1 Q12
From these examples, it is clear that while the diagrams may change, the core thinking skills required remain the same. Students who lack a systematic approach often: - Miss hidden figures
- Double count overlapping shapes
- Struggle to organise their counting process
