Pdf Summary

The Math Kangaroo 2019 competition for Levels 3 and 4 was held on March 21, 2019, as a part of an international mathematics competition. Participants had 75 minutes to solve 24 questions, spread over four pages, without the use of calculators. The test required students to mark their answers on a provided form, and participants needed to include their name and ID number on the answer sheet.<br /><br />Questions in the test ranged in point value from 3 to 5 points. The problems covered various mathematical topics and skills, including logical reasoning, basic arithmetic calculations, and pattern recognition. For instance, one question asked students to determine the order of runners on a podium, while another involved solving a pattern involving shapes and numbers.<br /><br />Participants were also challenged with problems like determining the weight of a glass when half-full with water, estimating the number of pins needed to arrange photos, and deciphering which figures could be obtained from cutting shapes from a sheet. Other questions required the identification of different colored marbles and analyzing arrangements to maximize specific results, such as the number of green marbles from trades.<br /><br />One noteworthy problem involved figuring out who among five children ate a cookie, based on statements made by each child, with the condition that only one child was lying. Another questioned the number of towels hung using limited pegs after changing the hanging method to save on peg usage.<br /><br />The competition aimed to promote mathematical problem-solving and critical thinking among young students, incorporating a diverse range of challenges that tested various skills beyond simple calculations.
