Mathematical Kangaroo Competition

Overview

Mathematical Kangaroo (also known as International Mathematical Kangaroo or Kangourou sans frontieres in French) is an international mathematical competition that takes place in 92 countries. There are twelve levels of participation, ranging from 1to 12 grades. The key competence tested by Mathematical Kangaroo is not just pure knowledge of formulas, but the logical combination of concepts.
Kangourou sans Frontieres is an organisation made up by mathematicians from all over the world. They aim to spread the love of mathematics, encourage mathematical education in schools, and create a favourable perception of mathematics in society, motivated by the importance of mathematics in the current world. The annual Kangaroo Mathematics Competition is the main activity of Kangourou sans Frontieres. Mathematical questions in the multiple-choice format are available to students at all levels of school. The questions aren't the typical textbook problems, and they cover a wide range of topics. They demand imagination, basic computational abilities, logical reasoning, and other problem-solving strategies in addition to inspiring ideas, perseverance, and creativity. Small anecdotes, surprising questions and results frequently appear, prompting conversations with friends and family. The organisation of the competition in the individual countries is up to the members of Kangourou sans Frontieres.
