Participants are expected to be proficient in solving linear and quadratic equations and inequalities, as well as their systems, and have experience in solving word problems. Understanding the concept of functions, their domains, ranges, and basic properties, along with a general knowledge of prime numbers and prime factorisation, may be useful. Participants should be familiar with the concepts of the greatest common divisor (GCD) and the least common multiple (LCM), their basic properties, and the algorithms for obtaining them. In geometry, knowledge of the criteria for triangle congruence and similarity, properties of parallel lines, basic properties of triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, circles, tangents to circles, their secants, and inscribed angles is necessary. Participants are expected to know the basic formulas for arithmetic and geometric progressions. All tasks require the application of unconventional thinking and a creative mathematical approach.
