On the third Thursday in March, nearly 850,000 students in Germany from third grade onward took part in the Kangaroo Math Competition\u2014worldwide, the total was about 6 million. At Steinm\u00fchle, 42 students signed up for this voluntary test\u2014mostly from fifth grade. The Kangaroo problems are usually very stimulating, sometimes entertaining, and can be solved using a wide variety of approaches. Sometimes all it takes is common sense, a bit of ingenuity, or a creative idea. In addition, it is a multiple-choice test, which suits the students very well. <\/p>\n

Everyone who participated has now received a certificate, a booklet containing all the problems and solutions, and a small game. In each grade level, first, second, and third prizes are awarded to the top 5% of participants nationwide; these prizes include science experiment kits, strategy games, math puzzles, and books. <\/p>\n

There were four award winners at the Steinm\u00fchle this year, including Paula Auschill<\/b><\/i> even won first prize. Second prizes went to Johanna Egbring<\/b><\/i> and Joshua Wieder<\/b><\/i>, and a third prize went to Lotte Jungfer<\/b><\/i>. The award for the longest “kangaroo jump” (i.e., the greatest number of consecutive correct answers) went to Lenn Stumm<\/b><\/i> received a Kangaroo T-shirt. Congratulations! <\/p>\n

The successful students from Class 5a, from left to right:<\/p>\n

Johanna Egbring, Lotte Jungfer, Paula Auschill, Lenn Stumm, Joshua Wieder<\/p>\n
