Math Kangaroo
Math Kangaroo is a non-profit organization whose mission is to help kids love math.
Math Competition
The idea of the club is to present tutorials representing problems in the Global Math Quiz held on March 21, 2024. Because the same quiz is presented to kids all over the world, the competition is held at approximately the same time.
For Lakeridge Elementary, the competition starts at 10am on a Thursday. The principal of Lakeridge Elementary has allowed the kids in the competition to come together during that time for the competition and miss their normal scheduling.
