2004_Questions_Levels_3&4

Pdf Summary

The Math Kangaroo 2004 competition for levels 3 and 4 involves a variety of mathematical problems designed to challenge young students in logical reasoning and problem-solving skills. Each question is presented with multiple-choice answers, and the problems are organized into different point value categories, ranging from 3 points to 5 points per question.<br /><br />The problems cover a wide range of topics, including basic arithmetic operations, age difference calculations, understanding graphical distances, and identifying logical patterns within a set of numbers or figures. For example, participants solve puzzles related to age differences (question 2), calculate extra distances caused by detours (question 3), and determine missing page numbers from a sequence (question 14).<br /><br />Some problems require spatial reasoning, such as identifying items in images or figures that satisfy given conditions (e.g., question 6 and question 17). Others involve straightforward calculations or reasoning based on simple algebraic principles, such as determining weights from balanced scales (question 10) or calculating the remaining fruits after consumption as a fraction of the whole (question 12).<br /><br />In addition, participants must apply logical deduction to figure out arrangements and sequences. For instance, in question 7, they deduce the color sequence of buildings based on given conditions. Moreover, complex deduction and mathematical reasoning are tested in higher-point value questions, such as calculating contributions and fair distributions (question 22) and determining color patterns in cubes (question 21).<br /><br />Overall, these questions intend to stimulate mathematical thinking and encourage young students to apply mathematical concepts creatively and accurately within timed conditions.
