Kompetisi Matematika

SURYA INSTITUTE

Latar Belakang

Siswa Indonesia sudah terbukti memiliki prestasi yang sangat membanggakan untuk bidang Sains & Matematika di berbagai kompetisi Internasional. Prestasi mereka tidak kalah dibandingkan dengan siswa dari berbagai negara maju.

Si juga memiliki misi untuk mengembangkan potensi siswa Indonesia tersebut secara lebih luas lagi. Kami percaya bahwa lebih banyak lagi potensi yang ada di masyarakat Indonesia yang masih belum terlihat dan terpoles. Untuk itu, SI memfasilitasi para siswa yang berbakat dan menyukai Matematika dan Sains untuk dapat mengasah & menyalurkan bakat dan minat mereka melalui keikutsertaan dalam berbagai lomba tingkat internasional.

Selain itu, SI juga menyediakan pelatihan-pelatihan persiapan lomba-lomba agar para siswa berbakat tersebut dapat terus mempertahankan dan meningkatkan kemampuan mereka. Dengan adanya pelatihan dan lomba-lomba yang menekankan pada soal-soal Matematika non rutin, siswa diharapkan dapat memaksimalkan potensi mereka di bidang Matematika. Mengutip perkataan Prof Dr. Steven R. Dunbar, Direktur American Mathematics Competition, “Matematika semakin hari semakin penting dalam era teknologi dan sains ini. Mempelajari Matematika yang cukup semasa sekolah adalah pintu gerbang pekerjaan-pekerjaan dan karir dari berbagai bidang, bahkan meskipun bidang-bidang itu tidak secara eksplisit menggunakan Matematika, sains, maupun teknologi.”

Lomba apa saja yang sebaiknya diikuti?

SI akan merekomendasikan lomba-lomba apa saja yang cocok bagi setiap siswa. Kami tidak menganjurkan siswa

untuk mengikuti seluruh lomba-lomba yang ada.

Apakah Manfaat mengikuti berbagai lomba Matematika yang diselenggarakan SI

1. Melatih kemampuan pemecahan masalah (problem solving) 2. Sebagai alat ukur kemampuan siswa dibandingkan siswa lain secara nasional maupun internasional 3. Mendapatkan umpan balik untuk setiap lomba yang diikuti sehingga kelak siswa dapat meningkatkan

prestasinya. Fasilitas ini hanya untuk siswa yang mengikuti setidaknya lima kompetisi Matematika yang diselenggarakan SI.

4. Mendapatkan prioritas untuk mewakili SI dan Indonesia jika SI mengirimkan peserta untuk berpartisipasi dalam berbagai lomba dan kegiatan ‘summer camp’ di luar negeri. (tentu saja ada seleksi penentuan anggota tim)

5. Bagi siswa yang secara konsisten berprestasi sangat baik dalam berbagai lomba berpeluang mendapatkan beasiswa dari berbagai universitas di dalam dan luar negeri.

Australian Mathematics Competition (AUSMAC) • Introduced in Australia in 1978 as the first Competition in Australian Schools • The Ausmac is for students of all standards. • Students are asked to solve thirty problems in 60 minutes (Years 3 to 6) or 75 minutes (Years 7 to 12). • Students mark their responses on a mark-sense sheet and these are processed by computer. • The earliest problems are very easy. All students should be able to attempt them. The problems get

progressively more difficult until the end, when they are challenging to the most gifted student. • Students of all standards will make progress and find a point of challenge. • Participant: from Bulgaria, Fiji, Hongkong, Iran, Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, Nepal, New Zealand, People

Republic of China, Philipines, Samoa, Singapore, Taiwan • Topics: o Arithmetic o Algebra o Geometry o Problem Solving

Singapore & ASEAN School Mathematical Olympiad (SASMO) • A math Olympiad contest to stretch not only your best students, but also your average students • Internationally recognized programme – in USA, Australia, New Zealand, India, Columbia, Iceland and many

more countries • 5th year of contest – over 1000 students joined in 2008 • 4024 students from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore participated in 2010 competition. • Created in 1977 by the late Dr. George Lenchner, an internationally known Math educator, the Math

International Tournament of Town (ITT) ITT is a worldwide problem solving competition in mathematics organized in Russia.

Type of questions: Full solution/essay. The level of problems are very high, i.e. ranging from difficult to very difficult mathematics problems.

Any town can take part in it. Surya Institute is Indonesia Representative

The Tournament of the Towns is affiliated with the World Federation of National Mathematics Competition.

Each round has two levels - O-Level (easier) and A-Level (more difficult), They are scheduled approximately one week apart. Students have the right of choice as well. They may attempt either level or both. The score for the round is the maximum (not the sum) of the scores in the two levels.

The questions in the O-level are less complicated and are accessible to the beginners. However, students are awarded less points for solving these questions. Nevertheless students can get enough points to win Diplomas if they solve the hardest three problems of the O-level.

Questions in the A-level are more complicated. The most difficult of them are often solved only by a few participants. A beginner probably has no chance of obtaining any points from these questions. On the other hand, an exceptional student is sometimes awarded for them two or three times as many points as the questions in the O-level.

Award

Students who exceed a certain minimum score are awarded a Diploma from the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Opportunity to attend Maths Summer Camp at Moskow, Russia
