Tips for math kangaroo practice questions
- Read every problem twice: contest questions often hide the key detail in one word.
- Draw a picture or a table when a problem has many steps.
- Check the answer choices: sometimes testing them is faster than solving from scratch.
- Skip a problem that takes too long and come back to it at the end.
Fun math facts
- Math Kangaroo started in France in 1991 and is named after the Australian Mathematics Competition that inspired it.
- Millions of students in dozens of countries take part every year.
- In the contest, problems are worth 3, 4 or 5 points, getting harder as you go.
Fun ways to use your printables
- Do one set per week from January to March to warm up for the contest.
- Let your child explain a solution back to you; teaching it locks it in.
- Make a list of the tricks you learn, like working backwards or counting in pairs.

Frequently asked questions
What is Math Kangaroo?
Math Kangaroo is an international math competition for grades 1 to 12 held every March. Students answer multiple-choice problems that reward clever thinking more than fast calculation.
Are these official Math Kangaroo papers?
No. These are original practice problems in a similar style. For official past papers, visit the official Math Kangaroo website for your country.
How should my child use these sets?
Try one set a week. Give about 3 to 4 minutes per problem, then go through the answer key together and talk about the trick in each solution.
Is there a penalty for wrong answers?
Rules differ by country: in some editions of the contest a wrong answer costs points, in others it does not. Check the rules of your national organizer, and practice skipping questions you cannot solve.
