Once again, the Kangaroo competition was a great success at our school.
This mathematics game was created in 1990 on the model of the Australian national competition (hence the name).
The first edition took place on May 15, 1991 and comprised 24 multiple-choice questions of increasing difficulty, offered on the same day in schools in France and abroad.
For the twenty-seventh year, over a hundred students from CE2 to Terminale at our school took part in this mathematical logic test on Thursday March 16.
As always, the results were very good, but two students particularly shone this year.
In third place, Arthur Minaud came 13th and Tristan Traverse 34th out of nearly 15,000 entrants. And in CM2, Anaïs Kreutzer came 129th out of nearly 36,000 entrants.
Well done to these three students, and of course to all the other students from our school who took part in this year’s great mathematics festival, and let’s hope that next year even more schoolchildren will be ready to take part in the 2024 edition.
