上海市实验学校国际部 2020年袋鼠数学竞赛奖项揭晓

2020年4月18日，ASDAN中国（阿思丹学院）举办的 “2020年袋鼠数学竞赛” 在线上及考点学校同时进行 。来自30多个省份、230多个城市的近22000名同学共同参与此次参赛。

2019年，ASDAN 中国（阿思丹学院）正式与袋鼠数学国际委员会达成独家战略合作，成为袋鼠数学竞赛中国赛区组委会，致力于把这项国际著名的数学兴趣活动推荐给中国青少年数学爱好者。优秀考生将获得由组委会颁发的奖项，奖项设置分为全球奖项（成就奖，满分同学将获该奖项），中国区奖项（超级金奖、金奖、银奖、铜奖、数学技能奖）。

18th April, 2020, 22000 students were doing their Math Kangaroo competition online or in their respective MK exam center.

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

袋鼠数学竞赛由澳大利亚著名数学家 Peter O’Halloran 于1980年发起。1991年，法国两位著名数学教育家成立正式竞赛组委会并在欧洲推广该项赛事，为了向 Peter O’Halloran 致敬，将该竞赛正式取名为“袋鼠数学竞赛”。

不同于传统数学奥赛强调的高难度和挑战性，袋鼠数学竞赛宗旨是用有趣生动、接近生活的题目，激发孩子们数学学习兴趣及自信，培养学生数学思维，训练学生阅读、理解、分析和解决问题能力，适合各年级各种数学水平同学参加。因此，袋鼠数学竞赛逐步风靡世界，成为全球极具影响力的青少年国际数学竞赛，87个国家和地区举办、每年超过600万学生参加。

Math Kangaroo is proposed 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.
