Congratulations to BIS Students on Winning Math Kangaroo Awards!

Congratulations to our students on their outstanding performance during the 2021 Math Kangaroo Awards!

They have won 2 Gold, 2 Silver, 4 Bronze and 3 Proficiency Awards from the exam.

Math Kangaroo was founded 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 against the abilities of other students, from different countries around the world. Math Kangaroo is now the largest competition for school students in the world, with over 6.3 million participants from 87 countries.

ASDAN China (ASDAN Academy) and Math Kangaroo have formed a partnership to bring the Math Kangaroo Competition to China from 2019.
