  Math Kangaroo

Math KangarooOn Thursday, March 18th RSM will host The 13th Annual MATH KANGAROO - one of the greatest international math competitions for children in grades 1-12.
Registration deadline: January 20, 2010.

RSM-Newton - 6:00 PM

All students are given recognition and gifts for participation. Every year more than 5 000 000 students from over 40 countries participate in the contest. Math Kangaroo is a popular international non-selective competition in mathematics for students in grades 1 through 12.  The competition takes the form of a multiple choice test.  Each participant is seen as a winner and receives recognition and gifts on the test day in March.  Those who achieve the top results are awarded in May.  The atmosphere of appreciation for the students' learning and the fun in each competition room across USA are the reasons why participants return year after year and bring their siblings and friends along.  Math Kangaroo helps the students both to develop their skills and to enjoy mathematics even more.
