What is Math Kangaroo?
  • An annual international math competition for grades 1-12 (March 19, 2026)

  • Best for students who enjoy logic-based problems and want to improve their critical thinking and problem-solving skills with a fun, low-pressure competition (i.e. the math is in line with their grade level, not any more advanced, but in the form of brain teasers)

  • The exam is a 75 minute multiple-choice test.

    • 24 questions for students in grades 1-4

    • 30 questions for students in grades 5 and higher

  • Huntington Elk Grove is hosting for the Elk Grove / Sacramento area for 2026
