International Mathematics Assessments for Schools

2019 ~ 2020 MIDDLE PRIMARY DIVISION FIRST ROUND PAPER

Time allowed：75 minutes

When your teacher gives the signal, begin working on the problems.

INSTRUCTION AND INFORMATION

GENERAL
1. Do not open the booklet until told to do so by your teacher.
2. No calculators, slide rules, log tables, math stencils, mobile phones or other
calculating aids are permitted. Scribbling paper, graph paper, ruler and compasses
are permitted, but are not essential.
3. Diagrams are NOT drawn to scale. They are intended only as aids.
4. There are 20 multiple-choice questions, each with 5 choices. Choose the most
reasonable answer. The last 5 questions require whole number answers between
000 and 999 inclusive. The questions generally get harder as you work through the
paper. There is no penalty for an incorrect response.
5. This is a mathematics assessment, not a test; do not expect to answer all questions.
6. Read the instructions on the answer sheet carefully. Ensure your name, school
name and school year are filled in. It is your responsibility that the Answer Sheet
is correctly coded.

THE ANSWER SHEET

1. Use only pencils.
2. Record your answers on the reverse side of the Answer Sheet (not on the question
paper) by FULLY filling in the circles which correspond to your choices.
3. Your Answer Sheet will be read by a machine. The machine will see all markings
even if they are in the wrong places. So please be careful not to doodle or write
anything extra on the Answer Sheet. If you want to change an answer or remove
any marks, use a plastic eraser and be sure to remove all marks and smudges.

INTEGRITY OF THE COMPETITION

The IMAS reserves the right to re-examine students before deciding whether to
grant official status to their scores.
