Question from an assignment for fourth grade, 2016-2017 school year
Mathematical competition "PONY®
visiting Pythagoras" In the system of intellectual competitions "PONY® - Primary School" occupies a special place. This is the only competition entirely dedicated to mathematics. Mathematical abilities manifest themselves quite early and need to be developed, which makes the existence of a mathematical competition for elementary school students relevant. The set contains 10 tasks and is designed to take 40-60 minutes to complete, depending on the participant’s grade level. All tasks are test tasks, but the student does not choose the correct answer from the proposed set of options, but finds it independently. In this case, tasks are selected in such a way as to minimize the possibility of guessing the correct answer. A successful performance requires serious work throughout the allotted time. There are very few examples in our assignments in which the answer is immediately visible. Most of the tasks involve leisurely thinking about a condition, going through different solution paths and choosing the optimal one, and the ability to complete the reasoning and calculations that have begun. All this allows us to talk about a serious learning effect from completing the tasks of our competition. We want not only to identify the best, but also to help each participant develop perseverance, the ability to concentrate and a love of learning.

Team competition "PONY® - a team of researchers"
Date: February 24, 2019
This year the theme of the International Intellectual Children's Competitions PONY® is “PONY® on Planet Earth”. And therefore, from our point of view, it is impossible to ignore the topic of man, his relationships with others, tolerance, mutual assistance and unity to achieve success.
The PONY team competition appeared quite recently, but has become traditional for us, which is very pleasing. This means that the school, and therefore society as a whole, is interested not only in the child accumulating knowledge in various fields of science, but also being successful in the field of interpersonal communication: respecting, appreciating and being able to listen to his comrades; Looking at the successes of others, I was inspired to new achievements. In other words, he knew how to work in a team, demonstrating all his knowledge, skills and abilities and investing them in one common task or project.
At primary school age, in addition to the intensive development of the child’s intellect, there is a change in the forms of communication with people around him. Emotional communication is being replaced by another form: situational - business communication, or - cooperation. It is in cooperation that children master communicative competence - one of the basic competencies of a modern person.
During the competition, the knowledge of the participants is combined to achieve a common goal by enriching everyone while simultaneously dividing functions, roles and responsibilities between them.
Particular attention in the competition is paid to achieving the main goal - the success of the entire team, which is possible as a result of productive independent work of each team member on an individual task, which is part of the main final task.
The task of each participant is not only to complete the task independently, but also to argue the result obtained to other team members, putting it up for general discussion.
The team competition allows both teachers and schoolchildren to make discoveries, because it provides opportunities to demonstrate leadership abilities and the ability to work in a team; Unleash your own potential in a safe environment of emotional and meaningful group support; gain experience in performing the functions of monitoring and evaluating your own work and the work of your comrades; mastering the norms of cooperation associated with a culture of communication, responsibility, initiative and tolerance.
We invite students in grades 2-4 and teachers to participate in our competition. Children will experience the joy and pleasure of teamwork, and teachers will discover new talents and leadership qualities in their students!
