National Mathematics Olympics
The mathematics Olympics are open to all Première students who want to enter whether from state or private schools. Every year, FIS arranges to hold the competition which must be held on the same day and at the same time as other schools no matter where in the world the school is or the time difference. This year, the brave students will have 4 hours to sit the 4 papers that make up this test on 15 March.
Kangaroo Maths
This maths competition brings together more than 6 million youngsters around the world!
On Thursday 16 March all FIS students in 4ème will take part in the “benjamins” test between 4:30 – 5:30pm. The test comprises 24 multiple choice questions and lasts 50 minutes.
Kangaroo Maths is a competition which started in 1991 and is now celebrating 26 years! It was created following the Australian National Competition model – hence its name!
Every year, Kangaroo Maths is the big competition that everybody loves to take part in, whatever their level. It is also the first national competition which gives the best a chance to measure themselves against others.
