Math Kangaroo 2011 in Dub nad Moravou.

This international mathematical competition became a spring tradition in our school. This year 97 students took part and tried their mathematical knowledge. Generally, we can say that at lower categories the number of successful boys and girls was equal, there are both genders among lower categories winners. But at higher categories there was only one boy among the best participants. We have been observing this interesting fact for years. Although boys are usually supposed to have better mathematical thinking, in our school girls always get better results in this competition!

Here are the best results ( number of points ) at all categories:

Grades 2 and 3 ( 8 - 9 years old ) : 55 points.
Grades 4 and 5 ( 10 - 11 years old ): 77 points.
Grades 6 and 7 ( 12 - 13 years old ): 78 points. Here only students of 6th grade were among the best ones!
Grades 8 and 9 ( 14 - 15 years old ): 66 points.
