One of the Biggest Competitions Globally

The International Kangaroo Competition in Mathematics (2021) – Virtual

The Kangaroo Competition is one of the biggest competitions in more than 70 countries around the world

attended by about 6 million students. In the early 80's, Peter O'Halloran a math teacher at Sydney, invented a

new kind of game in Australian schools: a multiple choice questionnaire, corrected by computer, which

meant that thousands of students could participate at the same time. It was a tremendous success for the

Australian Mathematical National Contest.

In 1991, two French teachers decided to start the competition in France under the name "Kangaroo". In the

first edition, 120 000 juniors took part. Ever since the competition has been opened to students as well as to

senior students, followed by 21 European countries forming altogether "Kangaroo without borders".

In 1995, the organization was officially registered in Paris, a board was elected with legal Statute. The number

of countries joining the contest increased including countries from Asia, Africa and South America. About 6

million students are now participating in the competition globally.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, represented by King Abdulaziz & His Companions Foundation for Giftedness &

Creativity “Mawhiba”, applied to join the organization officially in 2016 and the Kingdom's accession to the

"Kangaroo Math Contest” organization was unanimously approved in the last meeting held in Ukraine in

October 2016.

Registration will open soon

Available for students from 3rd grade till 12th grade – for both Saudis and Residents
