55 competition works were received from 9 universities of Russia, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Students prepared narrative mathematical problems, which theory contained the local area material offering insights to the historical, cultural, climatic, geographical and socio-economic characteristics of their native land. The competition`s condition was the adherence of mathematical problem`s content to the mathematics course curriculum of the primary school. Students independently chose the structure and the type of the problem. Based on the problem type, the participants formalized the solutions by means of calculations with an explanation and equation with an explanation, they also used diagrams, drawings, etc.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the academic leaders of student works and the members of the jury!
