How did the idea come about?
In the early 80’s, Peter O’Halloran a math teacher at Sydney, invented a new kind of game in Australian schools: a multiple choice questionnaire, corrected by computer, which meant that thousands of pupils could participate at the same time. It was a tremendous success for the Australian Mathematical National Contest.
In 1991, two French teachers (André Deledicq et Jean Pierre Boudine) decided to start the competition in France under the name “Kangaroo” to pay tribute to their Australian friends. In the first edition, 120 000 juniors took part. Ever since the competition has been opened to pupils as well as to senior students, followed by 21 European countries forming altogether “Kangaroo without borders”.
