Mathematics Online Competition 2021
(Malaysia Only)

Marshall Cavendish Education is inviting students from Grades 8 – 9 (ages 14 – 15 in 2022) to take part in the Mathematics Online Regional Competition 2022 involving an A.I., Cerebry! This competition aims to inculcate school cohesiveness and allows educators to have a greater understanding of their students’ Mathematics proficiency levels. Through the A.I. from Cerebry, all participating students will have questions curated based on their proficiency levels and gain a better understanding of the subject. Not only that, schools will vie for the Top 3 schools in the country based on their Top 3 students average scores per grade level too!

Competition Brief

The A.I., Cerebry, learns from the way a student completes a question and judges his/her competency level from there. With the help of Cerebry, students will be able to complete Math questions based on their proficiency levels and compete amongst their peers in school.

Cerebry will be testing questions based on 4 key topics:

1. 4 Operations
2. Whole Numbers
3. Fractions & Decimals
4. Algebra

This competition will be held online. Once confirmation of registration has been made, students will receive a Cerebry account where they can log in and answer the questions for the competition. Students are given 45 minutes to complete as many questions as possible. The competition should be conducted in a classroom/ computer lab environment with the presence of at least one teacher. To promote fairness in the competition, every student will receive an individual set of questions with slight adjustments to the numbers to avoid any plagiarism.
