Preparation sessions for the Kangaroo Test

We know that the task of teachers in many schools to prepare their students for the Kangaroo tests is very creative, even in some cases collaboratively between different schools.

Below are details of mathematics enrichment activities that may be of interest.

Let us know about initiatives everywhere so we can spread the word!

SESSIONS AT UNIVERSITY VENUES AND ACROSS THE TERRITORY

Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB)

Pre-Kangaroo sessions at UAB
The mathematics department of UAB has been organizing preparation sessions since 2007
for the Kangaroo tests for 3rd and 4th year ESO students. These sessions delve deeper into some mathematical concepts and techniques that, while
will allow participants to face the Kangaroo tests with greater preparation and solidity,
have as their main objective to enjoy and learn by overcoming new mathematical challenges.

The sessions for the 2025-2026 academic year will be in person and will take place on the following Tuesdays in room C5/034 of the Faculty of Sciences at UAB.
October 7, 14, and 21
November 11, 18, and 25
December 2 and 9
January 20
February 3
March 3 and 17

The schedule for October, November, and December will be from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
The schedule for January, February, and March will be from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

Registration is free, you can do it at this form until October 5. Places are limited.

SESSIONS IN PUIGCERDÀ

Pyrenean Group

A space for students, to learn mathematics beyond the school curriculum. Through the sessions, they can also prepare for participation in competitions such as the Kangaroo Test, Kangaroo Cup, Problems at the Sprint or the Mathematical Time Trial.

  • In person at INS Pere Borrell in Puigcerdà,
  • Aimed at boys and girls in 1st and 2nd year of ESO from the surrounding area.
  • 6 sessions between 1 October and December, approximately every two weeks.
    The dates will be announced soon
