![]()
The Contest "Math Kangaroo" originated in France in 1991 and quickly became very popular among students all over Europe. Several years later the association "International Kangaroo Mathematics Contest" was founded and it now organizes the event world wide. The contest's main purpose 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. In the past several years the geography of the participating countries has been extended outside Europe to USA, Paraguay, Mexico, Canada, etc. In 2006 almost 4,000,000 students from 41 countries played the game world-wide. The world "Kangaroo" center, which coordinates the competition in the various countries, was founded in 1994 in Paris. In Pakistan, the competition was first organized in 2005 by the Pakistan kangaroo Commission.
