Maths Quiz 2017

22 April 2017, Mathematics Quiz was held at Universiti Sains Malaysia. This year, we had 216 participants from 36 different schools. Our main objectives are to expose students to natural occurring daily mathematical problems that do not only involve calculation in accordance to school syllabus, to expose students to mathematical problems that emphasize the need of creativity and critical thinking in finding the solutions, and to increase high school students' interest in Mathematics subject.
Mathematics Quiz, was divided by three section. In Section 1 and Section 2, all students need to answered the Quiz. But, in Section 3 (Final) , only 10 schools will be chosen based on Section 2 marks. Attached herewith full result and some photos of Mathematics Quiz 2017.

        Worldwide, Mathematics is considered the best subject that can enhance the creativity and critical thinking of students. Since 1985, the students of USM Mathematical Sciences Society and their advisors have initiated the Penang State Mathematics Quiz as one of its annual activities carried out with the approval from the Penang Education Ministry and with full sponsorship from USM. The objectives of the Mathematics Quiz are to cultivate secondary school students' interest in Mathematics, besides nurturing and exposing students to natural occurring daily mathematical problems (in accordance with school syllabus). The search for these types of mathematical solutions requires creativity and critical thinking, and will, in turn, produce a well-rounded and solution-oriented students. In 2015, the Mathematics Quiz had 237 participants from 40 schools and in 2016, it had 174 participants from 29 schools. You may watch our 2015 Mathematics Quiz video in You Tube to get a better picture of our event:

         Starting from 2017, Mathematics Quiz has been given an “Enterprise” status by USM. Under this status, Mathematics Quiz will be required to independently establish its own future financial sustainability. Nevertheless, the Mathematics Quiz committee wishes to maintain the low rate of their event fee as before. Hence, for the first time in history, the committee step out to search for sponsorships and at the same time, hope to be able to open up the event to every Malaysian secondary student who is willing to take up the challenges and the exposure.

Generally, all participants of Mathematics Quiz will be divided into two categories, the junior category, which will consist of participants from form two and form three, and the senior category, which will consist of participants from form four and form five. All students from each category are required to register as a team of size three, with a registration fee of RM50 per team.

OBJECTIVES

1.  To expose students to natural occurring daily mathematical problems that do not only involve calculation in accordance to school syllabus

2.     To expose students to mathematical problems that emphasize the need of creativity and critical thinking in finding the solutions.

3.      Increase high school students' interest in Mathematics subject.
