Mathe mit dem Känguru 2

What - Have you not heard of "Känguru" yet? This mathematics competition has been held in Europe for over 15 years. In 2008, nearly a million students from third to thirteenth grade from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland alone participated.

The heart of the competition lies in the diverse, witty, and tricky multiple-choice questions contributed by more than 40 participating countries. Children and teenagers of all school types eagerly and joyfully engage in the competition, often year after year. Since there are only winners in the end, the fun of mathematics is at the forefront.

This book compiles the latest and most beautiful problems from the last three competitions, from 2006 to 2008, and organizes them thematically. Whether used as a supplement to classroom instruction, during substitute lessons, or solved at home with family and friends, the problems are enjoyable for everyone and subtly convey the practical benefits of mathematics. Even the most die-hard math haters can be coaxed out of their shells. And of course, the solutions are included in the book as well.
