bul INSTITUTE FOR PROMOTION OF MATHEMATICS ABOUT THE INSTITUTE Institute for Promotion of Mathematics is a unique Institute working since 1996 for school going children. We, at the Institute realize and understand that the present education set-up does not give the students enough opportunity to tackle mathematical problems outside the routine path of school examinations. Hence the Mathematics Scholarship Examination syllabus comprises of thought provoking and challenging topics, thus exposing some fascinating facets of mathematics. The syllabus strives towards making the generally dreaded Maths Fun & Easy. In the course of time students learn to analyse problems fast and anticipate results soon. Fast calculations help the students to perform well in school and in competitive entrance examination at various stages. The question papers are set keeping in mind the competitive exams that children face later. The exposure that children are givenis very helpful, while facing the competitive entrance exams , which in turn improve performance. The Institute conducts the All India Open Mathematics Scholarship Examination for Std. I, Il, IV, V VI, VII, Vill and IX and awards Scholarship, Trophies /Mementoes to the top 150/251 students of each standard to honour and inspire them In the past 19 years of conducting the Mathematics Scholarship Examination, the Institute has awarded a whopping Rs. 66,13,700/- to about 19336 students and also have awarded a trip to Thailand for the top six students & the Principals of the top School of each section (IV to IX) on completion of the Institute's 10 years. OBJECTIVES 1. Tomake the solving of mathematical problems a joyful activity and in general to sharpen a child's mathematical skills. 2. To test not the mechanical part of problem solving, but a child's ability to understand the basic concepts on various topics and their application. 3. To emphasize mental arithmetic which is essential for quick and clear thinking 4, To encourage and prepare young students to appear for various Mathematics Competitive Examination and to inculcate in them an ambition to succeed in such competitive examination from an early age. 5.

Mathematics equips students with knowledge essential to many careers : Problem solving, logical thinking and analytical skills and enhanced by the study of Mathematics. Mathematics students are equipped with resourcefulness and creativity in analysing huge variety of situations. The ability to learn and adapt to new developments is also enhanced by the study of mathematics, Mathematical skills represent a way of thinking and are highly flexible. They lead to exciting and challenging careers which are extremely diverse in nature. Mathematicians and Statisticians are among the graduates with the highest starting salaries and have the lowest unemployment rates. Mathematics enchance a person's ability to handle the more ambiguous and qualitative relationships that dominate our day-to-day decision making.What is Mathematics Scholarship Examination 7 Mathematics Scholarship Examination is a Competitive Examination conducted by the Institute for Promotion of Mathematics for various standards where the mathematical skills, mental ability ,calculation speed, critical analysis and accuracy of a child & application of short-cut methods are tested...
