Maths competitions

In our school we have different competitions to improve Maths. There are 3 different competitions in which our school participates:

“Cangur” is in March or April, and some students go to UPC, one of the unversities of Barcelona. You go one morning and answer 30 questions, without anyone to help you or calculator. If you win the competition you’ll win one thing of these: a laptop, a camera, an mp3, an iPod, a printer.

“Problemes a l’esprint” is a competition in which you have to resolve maths problems as fast as you can. For each school there is one group of students that will resolve these maths problems.

The winner is the group that resolves all the questions better and faster than the others.

”Olimpiades Matemàtiques” is a competition held since 1965 where you have to resolve problems but these problems are very difficult and you have to be very good at maths. The best three win the Gold medal, the next three win the silver medal and another three win the bronze medal.

The 9 persons have to go to the “Olimpiades Espanyoles” and after that to “Olimpiades Internacionals” and they win cash money.
