Pdf Summary

The Math Kangaroo 2021 competition for levels 3 and 4, held on March 18, 2021, featured 24 questions spread over 4 pages. The test was intended to be completed in 75 minutes, with the use of calculators prohibited. The problems were categorized into three sections based on point values: 3, 4, and 5 points each.<br /><br />The initial section, with each problem worth 3 points, posed a variety of questions including determining which cube can be made with a set of bricks, the direction of fish heads in an arrangement, and identifying results from puzzle configurations and picture components. Also included were challenges involving recognizing the correct target from a shooting contest, deducing measurements on a tape wrapped around a cylinder, and calculating stars produced by exploding rockets.<br /><br />Moving on, some 4-point questions required strategic arrangements of cards, selection of specific items from available options, and interpretations of visual information such as the rearrangement of blocks, collision outcomes of moving balls, and arithmetic results for various scenarios.<br /><br />The final set of problems, valued at 5 points each, included more complex logical puzzles. Some tested one's ability to deduce conditions from given constraints, such as determining positions for stickers and cards, scoring strategies in a dart game, and distributing cookies evenly among children, leaving some as remainders. Additionally, players were challenged with completing numeric arrays following predefined rules, and balancing objects on scales using reasoning about weight equivalences.<br /><br />This international competition aimed at engaging young students in mathematical problem-solving, showcasing a wide range of topics and difficulty levels to test and enhance their skills in mathematics.
