Math Kangaroo Day
What is "Math Kangaroo"?
The Math Kangaroo Competition is an international event, held every year on the third Thursday in March. Kutztown University has been a Math Kangaroo Center since 2017.
Who can participate?
Any student in grades 1 through 12 qualifies if they can work independently to read and answer a multiple choice test.
Do all students take the same test?
No, students receive a test that corresponds to their grade level in school. The competition questions are chosen by the International Math Kangaroo Committee; they are at an appropriate level for the students, and are designed to be interesting and challenging.
Are there prizes for students who do well in the competition?
Each student receives a mathematical gift, a participation ribbon, and an electronic certificate of participation. In May students who rank top 20 in the country and top 3 in a given state are recognized on Math Kangaroo website and receive gifts.
