Book Description
The Mathematical Olympiads for Elementary School are open mathematical Olympiads for students from 1st to 4th grade of elementary school, and they have been held every year in the city of Moscow since 1996, their first editions taking place in the facilities of the Moscow State University - Maly Mekhmat. Although initially these Olympiads were conceived for students of a study circle of elementary school, then it was extended to students in general since 2005. Being the Technological University of Russia - MIREA its main headquarters today. Likewise, these Olympiads consist of two rounds, a qualifying round and a final round, both consisting of a written exam. The problems included in this book correspond to the final round of these Olympiads, for the 4th grade of elementary school. In this workbook has been compiled all the Olympiads held during the years 2011-2020 and is especially aimed at schoolchildren between 9 and 10 years old, with the aim that any student interested in mathematics either in preparing for a competition or in simply practicing entertaining problems to improve his math skills, challenging himself to solve these interesting problems (recommended even to elementary school children in upper grades with little or no experience in Math Olympiads and who require comprehensive preparation before a competition); or it could even be used for a self-evaluation in this competition, trying the student to solve the greatest number of problems in each exam in a maximum time of 2 hours. It can also be useful for teachers, parents, and study circles in mathematics. The book has been carefully crafted so that the student can work on the same book without the need for additional sheets. What will allow the student to have an orderly record of the problems already solved. Each exam includes a set of 8 problems from different school math topics. To be able to face these problems successfully, no greater knowledge is required than that covered in the school curriculum; however, many of these problems require an ingenious approach to be tackled successfully. Students are encouraged to keep trying to solve each problem as a personal challenge, as many times as necessary; and to parents who continue to support their children in their disciplined preparation. Once an answer is obtained, you can check it against the answers given at the end of the book.

Euclidean Geometry in Mathematical Olympiads
Author: Evan Chen
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 1470466201
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
This is a challenging problem-solving book in Euclidean geometry, assuming nothing of the reader other than a good deal of courage. Topics covered included cyclic quadrilaterals, power of a point, homothety, triangle centers; along the way the reader will meet such classical gems as the nine-point circle, the Simson line, the symmedian and the mixtilinear incircle, as well as the theorems of Euler, Ceva, Menelaus, and Pascal. Another part is dedicated to the use of complex numbers and barycentric coordinates, granting the reader both a traditional and computational viewpoint of the material. The final part consists of some more advanced topics, such as inversion in the plane, the cross ratio and projective transformations, and the theory of the complete quadrilateral. The exposition is friendly and relaxed, and accompanied by over 300 beautifully drawn figures. The emphasis of this book is placed squarely on the problems. Each chapter contains carefully chosen worked examples, which explain not only the solutions to the problems but also describe in close detail how one would invent the solution to begin with. The text contains a selection of 300 practice problems of varying difficulty from contests around the world, with extensive hints and selected solutions. This book is especially suitable for students preparing for national or international mathematical olympiads or for teachers looking for a text for an honor class.

Open Middle Math
Author: Robert Kaplinsky
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1003839886
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
This book is an amazing resource for teachers who are struggling to help students develop both procedural fluency and conceptual understanding.. --Dr. Margaret (Peg) Smith, co-author of5 Practices for Orchestrating Productive Mathematical Discussions Robert Kaplinsky, the co-creator of Open Middle math problems, brings hisnew class of tasks designed to stimulate deeper thinking and lively discussion among middle and high school students in Open Middle Math: Problems That Unlock Student Thinking, Grades 6-12. The problems are characterized by a closed beginning,- meaning all students start with the same initial problem, and a closed end,- meaning there is only one correct or optimal answer. The key is that the middle is open- in the sense that there are multiple ways to approach and ultimately solve the problem. These tasks have proven enormously popular with teachers looking to assess and deepen student understanding, build student stamina, and energize their classrooms. Professional Learning Resource for Teachers: Open Middle Math is an indispensable resource for educators interested in teaching student-centered mathematics in middle and high schools consistent with the national and state standards. Sample Problems at Each Grade: The book demonstrates the Open Middle concept with sample problems ranging from dividing fractions at 6th grade to algebra, trigonometry, and calculus. Teaching Tips for Student-Centered Math Classrooms: Kaplinsky shares guidance on choosing problems, designing your own math problems, and teaching for multiple purposes, including formative assessment, identifying misconceptions, procedural fluency, and conceptual understanding. Adaptable and Accessible Math: The tasks can be solved using various strategies at different levels of sophistication, which means all students can access the problems and participate in the conversation. Open Middle Math will help math teachers transform the 6th -12th grade classroom into an environment focused on problem solving, student dialogue, and critical thinking.

Pages : 165
Book Description
BETHANY MACDONALD HAS TRAINED SIX LONG YEARS FOR THIS MOMENT. SHE'LL TRY TO SOLVE FIVE QUESTIONS IN THREE HOURS, FOR ONE IMPROBABLE DREAM. THE DREAM OF REPRESENTING HER COUNTRY, AND BECOMING A MATH OLYMPIAN. As a small-town girl in Nova Scotia bullied for liking numbers more than boys, and lacking the encouragement of her unsupportive single mother who frowns at her daughter's unrealistic ambition, Bethany's road to the International Math Olympiad has been marked by numerous challenges. Through persistence, perseverance, and the support of innovative mentors who inspire her with a love of learning, Bethany confronts these challenges and develops the creativity and confidence to reach her potential. In training to become a world-champion "mathlete", Bethany discovers the heart of mathematics - a subject that's not about memorizing formulas, but rather about problem-solving and detecting patterns to uncover truth, as well as learning how to apply the deep and unexpected connections of mathematics to every aspect of her life, including athletics, spirituality, and environmental sustainability. As Bethany reflects on her long journey and envisions her exciting future, she realizes that she has shattered the misguided stereotype that only boys can excel in math, and discovers a sense of purpose that through mathematics, she can and she will make an extraordinary contribution to society.
