Math Kangaroo - ORLANDO MATH CIRCLE

www.mathkangaroo.org

Math Kangaroo is a locally-administered international math competition with divisions from the first grade through twelfth grade.

Orlando Math Circle participates in Math Kangaroo as a way of meeting several programmatic needs:

The date of Math Kangaroo falls in March, a time of year when our upper tier students are very busy with math competitions already, but when our younger students have fewer challenge events available to them. Math Kangaroo provides a way to meet this need.

The content of Math Kangaroo is stratified to include age-appropriate challenge for ability levels as low as the first grade. This not only provides opportunity for our youngest OMC students, but for students too young to participate in OMC’s regular on-site programs.

Math Kangaroo provides an avenue for outreach to the broader community and is administered in a manner that fits that intention. Students/families register directly with Math Kangaroo and submit payments to Math Kangaroo directly, promoting broad, open access and simplifying local organization.

Math Kangaroo is a locally-administered international math competition.

Math Kangaroo originates from Australia, which provides the cultural context for the name of the competition.

Math Kangaroo in the United States is administered by Math Kangaroo USA, a non-profit entity.

OMC offers Math Kangaroo as a community service for students . OMC does not create the content for the exam, nor do we grade the exams or have any control over the policies, practices or rules involved. We do not receive any

form of compensation for the service we provide.

Who participates?

OMC administers Math Kangaroo in Orlando for several groups of students:

“Regular” OMC students – you are a regular OMC student if you are currently registered.

The general public – if you are not a registered student, you are part of the general public.

OMC offers Math Kangaroo to ALL of the above, but in the priority order Regular > General Public

Priority is assigned as follows:

Until December 15, regular fee will be charged ($21) for Math Kangaroo registration.

From December 16 – December 31 there will be greater registration fees of $35. (Subject to place availability)

Registration is closed to all students after December 31.

If at any time capacity constraints force us to close registration, priority will be assigned according to Regular > General Public.

REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT

Math Kangaroo has its own online registration tool, and takes payments through this online tool.

OMC is not involved at all in the processing of your registration and/or payments.

The Math Kangaroo website contains a wealth of information more detailed and more authoritative than any we can effectively summarize, so we encourage anyone interested to invest your attention there.

Some of the information provided here will be updated as we proceed through the registration period.
