The European Kangaroo Foundation is an international organisation based in Paris which organises the Europe-wide European Kangaroo. The name sounds strange, but recognises the fact that the European organisation was inspired by the Australian Mathematics Trust. Each year over three million school pupils across Europe (and beyond) take part at various levels. So when you sit the Kangaroo you are part of a huge European community of maths students. The UKMT has been involved in Kangaroo activities for several years and uses the hour-long multiple-choice papers (in English) as an extension to the Intermediate Challenge.
5,500 pupils from all three year groups sitting the Intermediate Challenge are invited to sit either the grey or pink European Kangaroo papers dependent on school year. These are one-hour papers with 25 multiple choice questions, taken by pupils from over 30 countries worldwide.
| England and Wales | Scotland | Northern Ireland | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grey | Year 9 or below | S2 or below | Year 10 or below |
| Pink | Year 10 and 11 | S3 and S4 | Year 11 and 12 |
Certificates of merit are awarded to the top 25%, certificates of participation to everyone else taking part and keyfobs to everyone (see link for keyfob puzzles).
