Math Kangaroo
Math Kangaroo is a non-profit organization whose mission is to help kids love math.
Math Competition
The Global Math Quiz is held on 20 March, 2025. Because the same quiz is presented to kids all over the world, the competition is held at approximately the same time.
Last year, the principal of Lakeridge Elementary allowed the kids to come together for the competition and miss their normal scheduling. This is very convenient for those people who would have normally gone to an external math company.
Registration
The registration pays for a place in the March 2025 competition. This means your child can attend the math competition at Lakeridge school. In particular, children enrolled in after-school math-schools can take the competition at Lakeridge as most of these schools teach math kangaroo material.
Once your child is registered, you can enjoy free Math Kangaroo video solutions and access full questions and solutions sets with 50% off. Instructions on how to find the discount code HERE.
Important: After you receive the registration confirmation email from Math Kangaroo, review the email to make sure all information is accurate. If something needs correction, update the registration or email info@mathkangaroo.org.
