Скачать или смотреть SASMO & SMKC Primary 3 Typical Questions Explained (Lesson 7)

In Lesson 7, we explore an important and highly practical problem-solving strategy commonly used in competition mathematics — Gauss Summation.

In SASMO, SMKC, and other Primary 3 math competitions, questions involving the sum of consecutive numbers appear very frequently. Calculating these numbers one by one can be time-consuming and prone to mistakes. In this lesson, we focus on using patterns and structure to replace repetitive calculations, making complex addition both faster and more accurate.

This method not only helps students save valuable time during competitions, but more importantly, develops structured thinking and pattern recognition — essential skills that form a strong foundation for higher-level mathematics in the future.
