What is Math Kangaroo?

The Math Kangaroo Exam is an international mathematics competition for school students. It helps students improve their logical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and mathematical skills. The exam includes interesting and challenging questions that encourage students to think differently rather than simply memorising formulas.

Students from Grades 1 to 12 can participate in the competition. The questions are generally multiple-choice and are designed according to the student’s grade level. Math Kangaroo gives students an opportunity to test their mathematical abilities and develop greater confidence in solving problems.
