My understanding of his objective led us to endless discussions on how to make the book easy to understand and useful to students of various levels It was in these discussions that Terry demonstrated his passion and creativity in solving non-routine questions He was eager to share these techniques with his students and most importantly, he had also learned alternative methods of solving the same problems from his group of bright students This follow-up series is a result of his great enthusiasm to constantly sharpen his students’ mathematical problem-solving skills I am sure those who have worked through the first series, Maths Olympiad — Unleash the Maths Olympian in You!, have experienced significant improvement in their problem-solving skills Terry himself is encouraged by the positive feedback and delighted that more and more children are now able to work through non-routine questions And we have something new to add to the growing interest in Mathematical Olympiad type questions — Olympiad Maths Trainer is now on Facebook! You can connect with Terry via this platform and share interesting problemsolving techniques with other students, parents and teachers I am sure the second series will benefit not only those who are preparing for mathematical competitions, but also all who are constantly looking for additional resources to hone their problem-solving skills Michelle Yoo Chief Publisher SAP Olympiad Maths TraineR A word from the author . Dear students, teachers and parents, Welcome once more to the paradise of Mathematical Olympiad where the enthusiastic young minds are challenged by the non-routine and exciting mathematical problems! My purpose of writing this sequel is twofold The old adage that “to is to understand” is very true of mathematical learning This series adopts a systematic approach to provide practice for the various types of mathematical problems introduced in my first series of books In the first two books of this new series, students are introduced to different types of mathematical problems every 12 weeks They can then apply different thinking skills to each problem type and gradually break certain mindsets in problem-solving The remaining four books comprise different types of mathematical problems in the same manner In essence, students are exposed to stimulating and interesting mathematical problems where they can work on creatively Secondly, the depth of problems in the Mathematical Olympiad cannot be underestimated The series contains additional topics such as the Konigsberg Bridge Problem, Maximum and Minimum Problem, and some others which are not covered in the first series, Maths Olympiad – Unleash the Maths Olympian in You! Every student is unique, and so is his or her learning style Teachers and parents should wholly embrace the strengths and weaknesses of each student in their learning of mathematics and constantly seek improvements I hope you will enjoy working on the mathematical problems in this series just as much as I enjoyed writing them Terry Chew Olympiad Maths TraineR CONTENTS Week to Week The Four Operations Looking for a Pattern Sequence with a Common Difference Other Operations Using Models for Sum or Difference Catching up Week 10 to Week 18 The Principle of Addition The Principle of Multiplication Solve By Assuming Excess and Shortage Problems Counting Using Models for Multiplication Week 19 to Week 24 Permutation Combination Problems from Planting Trees Journey of the Train Week 25 Test Week 26 to Week 34 Encountering Age Problems Solve By Replacement and Comparison Problem from Page Number Working Backwards Remainder Problems Week 35 to Week 43 Logic Number Games Solve Using Tables or Drawings Perimeter of Square and Rectangle Observation and Induction Venn Diagram Week 44 to Week 49 Average Geometry Maximum and Minimum Pigeonhole Principle Week 50 Test Worked Solutions (Week - Week 50) WEEK Olympiad Maths Trainer Name: Date: Class: Marks: /24 Solve these questions Show your working clearly Each question carries marks Use a simple method to calculate each of the following (a) 376 + 285 + 124 + 715 (b) 81 + 79 + 82 + 83 + 88 (c) 173 + 123 + 877 + 327 (d) 169 + 171 + 173 + 172 + 167 Complete each number pattern (a) 2, 4, 8, 16, ( ), ( ), ( ), ··· (b) 1, 4, 9, 16, ( ), ( ), ( ), ··· (c) 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, ( (d) 2, 1, 4, 3, 6, 5, ( ), ( ), ( ), ( ), ··· ), ··· Determine whether each of the following sequences has a common difference Find the common difference if there is State the first and last terms of each sequence (a) 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 (b) 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19 Terry Chew WEEK page 1 (c) 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49 (d) 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 If a b = (a + b) ÷ 2, evaluate (a) 3 7, (b) 4 (8 4) There are a total of 660 passengers on two ships 30 passengers alight from Ship A and 70 passengers board Ship B As a result, the number of passengers on the two ships becomes the same How many passengers are there on each ship at first?
