What should you expect

The problems and subjects in Kangaroo Math are presented in a fun and engaging fashion, that engages the child's mind at a higher logical level while preserving the interest in the subject.

The Kangaroo curriculum includes relatively advanced Mathematical concepts that exceed what is learned in class. The following concepts will be introduced, not only for the older kids but also for younger ones:

• Logical deduction, induction, and formal reasoning techniques
• Discrete Mathematics (number theory, counting, sets, and probabilities)
• Plan and three-dimensional geometry (not usually treated elsewhere)
• Basic combinatorics
• Equations and systems of equations
• Our problems do not include any Calculus or Precalculus topics
