Pdf Summary

The Math Kangaroo 2018 competition for levels 3 and 4 consists of 24 questions, spread over four pages. Participants have a total of 75 minutes to complete the test, and the use of calculators is prohibited. Answers should be entered on a separate answer form, and participants need to provide their name and ID number.<br /><br />The questions are divided into three sections, with varying point values: questions 1 to 8 are worth 3 points each, questions 9 to 16 are 4 points each, and questions 17 to 24 are valued at 5 points each.<br /><br />Examples of the questions include:<br />1. Lena has ten rubber stamps numbered 0 to 9 and needs to stamp the date of the contest; the task is to identify how many stamps she uses.<br />2. In a scenario involving three flying arrows and nine stationary balloons, participants must ascertain how many balloons get hit by the arrows.<br />3. A simple arithmetic problem calculates the sum of ages of siblings with given ages.<br />4. Determining which screw is shorter in a picture showing five screws of varying lengths.<br /><br />Other problems involve logic puzzles, spatial reasoning, and arithmetic calculations, including folding paper to reveal patterns, setting a table correctly, scoring with arrows, and using tiles to make designs. There are also problems that demand understanding of geometric concepts and incremental logic, like identifying patterns in rotated or flipped shapes, solving a sequence of room visits, or determining which weights correspond to specified amounts.<br /><br />Overall, the questions require a mix of fundamental arithmetic skills, logical reasoning, and the ability to visualize and solve spatial puzzles, suited for young students participating in this international math competition.
