Celebrating Excellence in Mathematics: 42 ISR Students Succeed in the Kangaroo Competition

Thursday, June 12th, 2025

Our Mathematics Department at ISR had something to celebrate this week during a recent award ceremony, which honored the outstanding achievements of our students in the Mathematics Kangaroo Competition.
The Mathematics Kangaroo (Känguru der Mathematik) is an internationally recognized competition that encourages students from around the world to develop their problem-solving skills and mathematical thinking. It is designed for various age groups and challenges participants with creative and engaging problems that go beyond standard curriculum exercises. The competition promotes a love of mathematics and inspires students to pursue excellence in this critical field.
This year’s results have surpassed all expectations. In 2024, we proudly celebrated 21 students who achieved top-three positions in their respective categories. This year, that number has doubled to an incredible 42 winners! Eleven students secured 1^st place, fifteen earned 2^nd place, and sixteen achieved 3^rd place. This remarkable accomplishment is a testament to the hard work, perseverance, and passion of our students – and teachers! Their expert guidance, encouragement, and commitment to fostering a stimulating learning environment at ISR have played a crucial role in preparing our students for this prestigious competition.
Congratulations once again to all our winners, and a sincere thank you to everyone who made this achievement possible.
It is further proof of our motto: “It’s cool to be good!”
