We are thrilled to invite your child to participate in the 2026 Kangaroo Math Competition, which will take place on Saturday, March 21, 2026.
What is Kangaroo Math?

It features unique, age-appropriate puzzles that encourage logical reasoning, creativity, and perseverance. It is a global event, with millions of students from over 90 countries participating every year.

Critical Thinking: The problems challenge students to think "outside the box" and apply logic to real-world scenarios.
International Recognition: Every participant receives a certificate of participation, and top scorers can earn medals and national rankings.
