2020年4月18日周六，我校举办了全球第一大规模的青少年国际数学竞赛——袋鼠数学竞赛。我校受竞赛官方ASDAN中国（阿思丹学院）邀请成为袋鼠数学竞赛中国赛区考点。
On Saturday, April 18, 2020, SUIS Qingpu hosted the Kangaroo Maths Competition, the world’s first large-scale international Maths competition for teenagers. Our school was invited by the official ASDAN China (ASDAN Academy) to be the test site for the Kangaroo Maths competition in China.
袋鼠数学竞赛由澳大利亚著名数学家 Peter O’ Halloran 于1980年发起。该赛事不同于传统数学奥赛。其宗旨是用有趣生动、接近生活的题目，激发孩子数学学习兴趣及自信，培养学生数学思维，训练学生阅读、理解、分析和解决问题能力。每年，袋鼠数学竞赛在87个国家和地区举办，每年超过600万学生参加。该项赛事逐步风靡全世界。
The Kangaroo Maths competition was initiated by the famous Australian mathematician Peter O’ Halloran in 1980. This competition is different from the traditional mathematics Olympiad. Its aim is to stimulate children’s interest and confidence in mathematics, and to develop students’ mathematical thinking by using interesting topics which are close to their life. It trains students in reading, comprehension, analysis and problem solving skills. Each year, the Kangaroo Maths competition is held in 87 countries and territories, with more than 6 million students participating each year. The competition is gradually becoming popular around the world.
本次比赛设立了超级金奖、金奖、银奖、铜奖、数学技能奖，考试对象覆盖小学一年级至高三年级。经过我校的精心筹备，袋鼠数学竞赛委员会授予我校正式铜牌，并对我校协调老师和监考老师提供支持。由此ASDAN中国（阿斯丹学院）和其他国际学科和素质教育资源也将优先为我校学子提供。此外，经过老师们赛前的宣传、对参赛选手进行赛前模考训练和备考辅导，使得本次比赛开展得非常顺利。
The competition has set up awards including super gold, gold, silver, bronze, and mathematical skills. The examination covers from Grade 1 to Grade 12. The Kangaroo Mathematics Competition has greatly increased participation in the competition, making it possible for students from all sections of our school to participate. After our careful preparation, the Kangaroo Mathematics Competition Committee awarded our school the official bronze medal and provided our coordinators and invigilators with support. As a result, ASDAN China (ASDAN Academy) also gives priority to other international disciplines and quality education resources. This enables our school to bring more quality resources to our students. In addition, after the teachers’ pre-match promotion, pre-match training and preparation for the exams, the competition was very well conducted.
这一国际赛事在我校的举办，为学生带来更多参与的机会，开阔了学生的国际视野，提供更多的发展空间与国际化平台，再次祝贺获奖同学！
This international event in our school brings more opportunities for our students to participate, broadens their international horizons, and provides them with the developmental space and international platform. Congratulations to the award students again!
