Elementary school students get ready to participate in the Math Kangaroo competition March 21 in UTC’s Grote Hall. Photo by Peyton Schultz.<\/p><\/div>\n

For the first time since the pre-COVID days, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga campus was hopping with Math Kangaroo participants.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, March 21, over 100 students\u2014from first graders to high school seniors\u2014came to UTC\u2019s Grote Hall to participate in Math Kangaroo, an international mathematics competition.<\/p>\n

Established in the 1980s in Australia\u2014hence the kangaroo reference\u2014Math Kangaroo<\/strong><\/a> aims to encourage mathematical reasoning and problem-solving techniques in a fun and engaging way. Students were presented with multiple-choice questions to test their mathematical abilities, emphasizing logical reasoning, creative thinking and problem-solving skills rather than advanced mathematical knowledge and memorization of formulas.<\/p>\n

More than 43,000 students registered to participate in this year\u2019s U.S. competition. According to Math Kangaroo, more than 80 countries administer the test\u2014with 6 million students participating worldwide.<\/p>\n

Participants competed against others in their respective age groups during the 75-minute competition. Students in grades 1-4 had 24 questions to answer; grades 5 and up had 30 questions. No calculators or smartphones were allowed during the test. Pencils and scratch paper were provided, and students were allowed to bring their own pencils and erasers.<\/p>\n

Dr. Tatiana Allen is the manager of the UTC Math Kangaroo Center and\u2014beginning this year\u2014serves as the Math Kangaroo director for the state of Tennessee.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a wonderful competition,\u201d said Allen, a UC Foundation professor of physics. \u201cThese problems are not plug-and-chug problems; they are thinking problems. You can win prizes. You can participate in higher competitions. And, of course, it goes very nicely on a resume\u2014so it\u2019s a great opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Allen has been involved in Math Kangaroo since 2015 \u201cwhen my child was young\u201d after learning about it from global friends because it\u2019s an international Olympiad. She hosted several competitions at UTC before COVID forced Math Kangaroo online in 2020. She said it was nice to have the event in person and on UTC\u2019s campus again.<\/p>\n

The return of the in-person event brought students to UTC \u201cfrom Knoxville, from Nashville, from all over Tennessee,\u201d Allen said. \u201cMy goal is to increase the number of centers in the state, giving more participation opportunities to the students.\u201d<\/p>\n

UTC is one of four Math Kangaroo centers in Tennessee. In comparison, California has 275 centers, and many other states offer dozens of centers. There is another public center in the Memphis metropolitan area and two private centers in Collierville and Lenoir City\u2014where only students from the hosting school can participate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is also a wonderful opportunity to promote the Department of Chemistry and Physics. Today\u2019s event was put together by our Society of Physics Students,\u201d said Allen of the student-led physics organization that recently won an Outstanding Chapter Award from the SPS National Office<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cThey were folding T-shirts and packaging gifts for participants. They have been setting up and working registration. They have been terrific.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd so many of our professors here have been very open to helping. Nine professors are volunteering as proctors, so I have had huge support. I couldn\u2019t do this without all the help I\u2019m getting.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the test, the completed answer cards were scanned and sent to Math Kangaroo for scoring. In recent years, Allen said, the UTC center has had numerous state winners and five national winners. This year\u2019s results will be announced in May.<\/p>\n

Sample questions and related practice material can be found on the Math Kangaroo website<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Think you\u2019re smarter than a fifth- or sixth-grader?<\/p>\n

Here is a sample four-point Math Kangaroo 2023 question:<\/p>\n

Maria, Peter, Richard and Tina were playing football in the classroom and one of them broke a window. When the principal asked who did it, she got the following responses: Maria: \u201cIt was Peter.\u201d Peter: \u201cIt was Richard.\u201d Richard: \u201cIt wasn\u2019t me.\u201d Tina: \u201cIt wasn\u2019t me.\u201d Only one child was telling the truth. Who broke the window?<\/p>\n
