At Westchester Child Development Center (WCDC), we are thrilled to announce our status as a Math Kangaroo Exam Center, providing students the opportunity to participate in one of the world’s most exciting and enriching math competitions. The Math Kangaroo Competition is an international math contest designed to inspire and challenge young mathematicians, encouraging them to think critically and apply mathematical concepts in innovative ways.
What is the Math Kangaroo Competition?
The Math Kangaroo Competition is a world-renowned annual mathematics competition that welcomes students from grades 1 to 12 to showcase their mathematical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Unlike many math competitions that emphasize purely complex and theoretical questions, Math Kangaroo distinguishes itself by using lively, interesting, and life-related problems that stimulate students’ love for math. This unique approach to mathematics education seeks to cultivate not only mathematical skills but also critical thinking, logic, reading comprehension, and analytical abilities.
The competition encourages a joyful and engaging experience with math through questions designed to stimulate curiosity, which helps students gain confidence in their problem-solving abilities.
Why WCDC Chooses Math Kangaroo?
At WCDC, we are committed to offering our students opportunities that spark passion and excitement for learning, and Math Kangaroo aligns perfectly with our educational philosophy. Through this partnership, WCDC offers an environment that fosters a love for mathematics while also providing an educational experience that extends beyond the classroom.
Our specially designed lesson plans for students participating in Math Kangaroo go hand-in-hand with the competition’s goals. We focus on helping students develop well-rounded skills that are essential for academic success in math and beyond:
Interactive and Fun Learning Environment: Our Math Kangaroo preparation classes are designed to provide engaging, real-world applications of mathematical concepts. We ensure that students not only enjoy the material but also understand how to apply it.
