The problems are designed to be accessible to upper elementary school students while still posing a significant challenge to students of all ages. Each chapter follows the famous four-step approach to problem-solving developed by Gyorgy Pólya, and the book includes solutions to all problems. The primary value of the book lies in the quality of the problems, which were crafted by experts in the field. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 168 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 02 August 2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Springer Nature Switzerland AG\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis extraordinary book presents a collection of mathematical competition problems primarily designed for upper elementary school students, yet they offer a significant challenge to students of all ages. The problems are sourced from the comprehensive papers of the renowned Leningrad Mathematical Olympiads, which were presented to Grade Five students in the city. The span covered in this book extends from 1979, the earliest year for which relevant records could be retrieved, to 1992, marking the dissolution of the former Soviet Union.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach chapter in this book reflects the famous four-step approach to problem solving developed by the renowned Hungarian mathematics educator Gyorgy Pólya. In Chapter One, the Grade Five Competition problems from the Leningrad Mathematical Olympiads from 1979 to 1992 are presented in chronological order. In Chapter Two, the 83 problems are loosely divided into 26 sets of three or four related problems, and an example is provided for each set. Chapter Three offers comprehensive solutions to all problems, while Chapter Four explores generalizations of the problems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a valuable resource for any mathematically advanced student at the upper elementary school level. Teachers and organizers of outreach activities such as mathematical circles will also find this book immensely useful. However, the true value of this book lies in the challenging problems it presents, which were meticulously crafted by experts. As such, it is an excellent addition to the library of anyone with an interest in problem solving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 285g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030529482\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2020\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kseniya Garaschuk,Andy Liu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44103016153338,"sku":"9783030529482","price":31.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646376134765_book.jpg?v=1646984219","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/grade-five-competition-from-the-leningrad-mathematical-olympiad-19791992-9783030529482","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
