Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mathematical Olympiads for the Fifth Grade of Elementary School discussed here are none other than the Open Mathematical Olympiads of the City for the 5th grade which are held every year in the city of Moscow since 2007, at the facilities of the Technological University of Russia - MIREA. These Olympiads consist of two independent rounds, one written and one oral. Likewise, the problems included here correspond to the written round, which present two levels of difficulty, of 10 and 5 problems respectively.In this workbook has been compiled all the Olympiads held during the years 2011-2020 and is especially aimed at schoolchildren between 10 and 11 years old, with the aim that the students interested either in preparing for a math competition or simply in practicing entertaining problems to improve their math skills, challenge themselves to solve these interesting problems (recommended even to middle school students with little or no experience in Math Olympiads and who require comprehensive preparation before a competition); or it could even be used for a self-evaluation in this competition, trying the student to solve the greatest number of problems in each exam in a maximum time of 2 hours. It can also be useful for teachers, parents, and math study circles. The book has been carefully crafted so that the student can work on the same book without the need for additional sheets, what will allow the student to have an orderly record of the problems already solved.Each exam includes a set of 15 problems from different school math topics. To be able to face these problems successfully, no greater knowledge is required than that covered in the school curriculum; however, many of these problems require an ingenious approach to be tackled successfully. Students are encouraged to keep trying to solve each problem as a personal challenge, as many times as necessary; and to parents who continue to support their children in their disciplined preparation. Once an answer is obtained, it can be checked against the answers given at the end of the book.
Download or read book Grade Five Competition from the Leningrad Mathematical Olympiad written by Kseniya Garaschuk and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-31 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book presents mathematical competition problems primarily aimed at upper elementary school students, but are challenging for students at any age. These problems are drawn from the complete papers of the legendary Leningrad Mathematical Olympiads that were presented to the city’s Grade Five students. The period covered is between 1979 – the earliest year for which relevant records could be retrieved – and 1992, when the former Soviet Union was dissolved. The respective chapters reflect the famous four-step approach to problem solving developed by the great Hungarian mathematics educator Gyorgy Pólya. In Chapter One, the Grade Five Competition problems from the Leningrad Mathematical Olympiads from 1979 to 1992 are presented in chronological order. In Chapter Two, the 83 problems are loosely divided into 26 sets of three or four related problems, and an example is provided for each one. Chapter Three provides full solutions to all problems, while Chapter Four offers generalizations of the problems. This book can be used by any mathematically advanced student at the upper elementary school level. Teachers and organizers of outreach activities such as mathematical circles will also find this book useful. But the primary value of the book lies in the problems themselves, which were crafted by experts; therefore, anyone interested in problem solving will find this book a welcome addition to their library./div

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematical Olympiads for Beginning Students - The Zeroth Book for Elementary Schoolers is an initiative that arises at the suggestion of parents and teachers to want to count on a practical study material for the training of future Math Olympians who currently have nascent math skills.This workbook covers a complete training program for beginners in five volumes, where each volume corresponds to a specific level of difficulty, and is especially aimed at elementary school children between 6 and 11 years old with little or no experience in Math Olympiads who seek to strengthen their math skills and become a Math Olympian. It may even be of great help for beginners in math, for whom it may be their first workbook on the subject. This volume includes the first level of the training program, which consists of a set of 10 exams, where each exam consists of 8 problems inspired by problems from Math Olympiads around the world. This workbook has been carefully designed so that the student can solve each of the problems in the same book without having to resort to additional sheets, thus having a complete and orderly record of all problems already solved. At the end of the book the student will find the answers to all the problems proposed in this volume.It is worth mentioning that this series of workbooks is a sequential preparation material, that is, anyone who begins with this training program is recommended to start from the first volume without skipping any of them, in this way the students will experience the gradual improvement of their math skills, evidencing their progress continuously. Likewise, students are suggested to carry out the following training scheme: between 6 and 7 years old, up to volume 2; between 7 and 8 years, up to volume 3; between 8 and 9 years old, up to volume 4; between 9 and 11 years old, up to volume 5. It is important to clarify that what is suggested above is only referential as it is the minimum required for those ages; however, students are always encouraged to continually overcome themselves and face increasingly higher levels of difficulty.For the success of this training program, the essential presence of a guide, tutor or parent is recommended during the learning process of the student, so that they can be guided in the face of doubts and encouraged in the face of obstacles that may arise. So students are encouraged to start their training as soon as possible and become a successful contestant in Math Olympiads, and parents are encouraged to ensure and closely monitor the proper preparation of their children.

Book excerpt: BETHANY MACDONALD HAS TRAINED SIX LONG YEARS FOR THIS MOMENT. SHE'LL TRY TO SOLVE FIVE QUESTIONS IN THREE HOURS, FOR ONE IMPROBABLE DREAM. THE DREAM OF REPRESENTING HER COUNTRY, AND BECOMING A MATH OLYMPIAN. As a small-town girl in Nova Scotia bullied for liking numbers more than boys, and lacking the encouragement of her unsupportive single mother who frowns at her daughter's unrealistic ambition, Bethany's road to the International Math Olympiad has been marked by numerous challenges. Through persistence, perseverance, and the support of innovative mentors who inspire her with a love of learning, Bethany confronts these challenges and develops the creativity and confidence to reach her potential. In training to become a world-champion "mathlete", Bethany discovers the heart of mathematics - a subject that's not about memorizing formulas, but rather about problem-solving and detecting patterns to uncover truth, as well as learning how to apply the deep and unexpected connections of mathematics to every aspect of her life, including athletics, spirituality, and environmental sustainability. As Bethany reflects on her long journey and envisions her exciting future, she realizes that she has shattered the misguided stereotype that only boys can excel in math, and discovers a sense of purpose that through mathematics, she can and she will make an extraordinary contribution to society.

Download or read book The IMO Compendium written by Dušan Djukić and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-05-05 with total page 819 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The IMO Compendium" is the ultimate collection of challenging high-school-level mathematics problems and is an invaluable resource not only for high-school students preparing for mathematics competitions, but for anyone who loves and appreciates mathematics. The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), nearing its 50th anniversary, has become the most popular and prestigious competition for high-school students interested in mathematics. Only six students from each participating country are given the honor of participating in this competition every year. The IMO represents not only a great opportunity to tackle interesting and challenging mathematics problems, it also offers a way for high school students to measure up with students from the rest of the world. Until the first edition of this book appearing in 2006, it has been almost impossible to obtain a complete collection of the problems proposed at the IMO in book form. "The IMO Compendium" is the result of a collaboration between four former IMO participants from Yugoslavia, now Serbia and Montenegro, to rescue these problems from old and scattered manuscripts, and produce the ultimate source of IMO practice problems. This book attempts to gather all the problems and solutions appearing on the IMO through 2009. This second edition contains 143 new problems, picking up where the 1959-2004 edition has left off.
