APASS- Learning platform
Math Kangaroo was proposed by Peter O'Halloran, an Australian mathematician and teacher, in the 1980's. In 1991, this idea was taken up in Paris, France. Very quickly, it spread throughout Europe. The competition began to be called "Kangaroo" because of its Australian origin. The main purpose of Math Kangaroo is to promote mathematical thinking and stimulate an interest in math, by providing students with an opportunity to compare their abilities worldwide.
Math Kangaroo is now the largest math competition for school students in the world. As of now, it has been held in 109 countries and regions. In 2025, approximately 6.5 million students participated globally.
In 2024, initiated by 17 countries and regions, the Kangaroo Global Committee launched the "Math Kangaroo Tournament" worldwide.
This initiative aims to provide a diverse and enjoyable approach to learning mathematics, encouraging students to connect through math and solve problems collaboratively. Through teamwork, students will ignite their passion for mathematics and experience its true charm.
To promote the elites' communication, deepen the dissemination of the "Association Kangourou sans Frontières", and aim to nurture future mathematicians, Math Kangaroo hosts the International Camps globally every summer, inviting participants who achieve gold award.
Being selected to the Math Kangaroo Camp will be a very rare international honour and a very exciting maths learning experience to the participants. The content modules of Math Kangaroo International Camps across continents are generally consistent, with slight adjustments based on the mathematical resources of the host country.
