Pdf Summary

The Math Kangaroo 2018 competition for Levels 5 and 6, held on March 15, 2018, is an international mathematics competition consisting of 30 questions spread across four pages. Each participant had 75 minutes to complete the exam without the use of calculators. Participants were required to record their answers on a provided answer form and to include their name and ID number as part of the identification process.<br /><br />The questions are categorized into different point values, with the first 10 problems worth 3 points each, the next set ranging from questions 11 to 20 worth 4 points each, and the final group, questions 21 to 30, valued at 5 points each, gradually increasing in complexity and requiring deeper analytical thinking.<br /><br />Examples of questions from this competition include problem-solving tasks such as determining the minimum number of balloons that will remain unhit by arrows, deducing visual patterns from seeing an object from above, and solving problems involving arithmetic calculations under specific constraints. <br /><br />Some questions involve logical reasoning, such as determining which day of the week a 25th day of a month falls on, deciding how many times dice must be rolled to ensure a repeated result, or predicting the outcome of girl's and boy’s alternate throws of a ball. Other questions involve spatial intelligence, like understanding movements on a grid, determining the ratio of areas in geometric shapes, and solving puzzles involving a mix of colors on a cube's faces.<br /><br />The Math Kangaroo competition challenges students to think critically and apply various mathematical concepts creatively, hence promoting both competitive spirit and enjoyment of mathematics among young learners.
