The regional round moves from take-home work to an independently written examination. These papers provide four original problems for Grade 9 proof practice.

Practice format: 4 written-solution problems · 240 minutes for this practice paper.

For school year 9. The 240-minute reference is the Lower Saxony organiser’s schedule for years 7–13. Your regional invitation takes precedence.

Five independently authored practice papers follow the stated structure. Difficulty is editorial, not statistically calibrated to a particular competition year. These papers are not endorsed by the organisers.

Before you start

Practise turning an observation into a proof, keeping track of integer restrictions, and justifying geometry steps. Budget time for reading and for checking all four solutions.
