Book excerpt: Mathematical Olympiads for Elementary School 2 - Second Grade My First Book of Mathematical Olympiads (Workbook Plus) The Mathematical Olympiads for the Second Grade of Elementary School discussed here are none other than the Mathematical Olympiads for Schoolchildren "Unikum", which are held every year in the city of Lipetsk (Russia) since 2010, and organized by the Faculty of Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science of Lipetsk State Pedagogical University and the Center for Continuing Education of Children "Strategy". 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. The present edition called Workbook Plus seeks to consolidate the mathematical skills acquired with the previous workbook since it includes new variants of problems as well as more challenging tasks. In this workbook has been compiled all the Olympiads held during the years 2011-2020 and is especially aimed at schoolchildren between 7 and 8 years old, with the aim that the students interested either in preparing for a math competition or simply in practicing entertaining problems to improve their math skills, challenge themselves to solve these interesting problems; 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 1 hour 10 minutes. It can also be useful for teachers, parents, and math study circles. 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, it can be checked against the answers given at the end of the book.
