MIS Shenzhen, known for its academic excellence and warm environment, has always been dedicated to nurturing outstanding academic talents. In particular, we place a strong emphasis on enhancing students' mathematical skills. We firmly believe that mathematics competitions are one of the effective tools to achieve this goal.

Recently, the results of the Maths Kangaroo competition, the world's most prestigious and widely participated international mathematics competition, were announced. It is delightful to note that students from MIS showcased their outstanding academic prowess in this competition, winning major awards thanks to their solid mathematical foundation and sharp logical thinking. 

Unlike traditional Olympiad math, which emphasizes high difficulty and challenge, Maths Kangaroo aims to stimulate children's interest and confidence in learning mathematics with fun, lively, and life-related problems. This competition fosters students' mathematical thinking, and trains their reading, comprehension, analysis, and problem-solving abilities. As a result, Maths Kangaroo has gradually become popular worldwide, emerging as an influential international mathematical thinking challenge for young people. 

The objectives of the Maths Kangaroo competition align perfectly with MIS's philosophy. At MIS, teaching goes beyond the classroom and textbooks, focusing on inspiring children's creative thinking, allowing their imagination and creativity to flourish naturally, and cultivating students' abilities to adapt to future society. 

In addition to winning the Gold Award, Chloe and Howard also received an invitation to the Maths Kangaroo Asia Camp. They will have the opportunity to be mentored by internationally renowned Maths experts, compete and socialise with top Maths Kangaroo candidates from across Asia, share and enjoy a wonderful mathematic experience!  

学术卓越、最具温暖的深圳曼校，一直致力于培养卓越的学术人才。其中，尤其注重提高学生的数学技能。我们坚信，数学竞赛是实现这一目标的有效工具之一。 

近日，全球最负盛名、参赛人数最多的国际数学竞赛——袋鼠数学竞赛（Maths Kangaroo）成绩揭晓。令人欣喜的是曼校学子在此次竞赛中，凭着自身扎实的数学基础和敏锐的思维逻辑，展现出了卓越的学术水平并一举摘获大奖。 

事实上，与传统奥数所强调的高难度和挑战性不同，袋鼠数学思维趣味活动以有趣生动、接近生活的题目来激发孩子们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。因此，袋鼠数学思维趣味活动逐步风靡世界，成为全球极具影响力的青少年国际数学思维挑战竞赛。 

而袋鼠数学竞赛的宗旨也正与曼校的理念不谋而合。在曼校，教学不仅仅局限于课堂之内，书本之中，更注重启发孩子创造性思维，让想象力与创造力自然勃发，培养学生适应未来社会的能力。 

值得一提的是，获得金奖的Chloe和Howard同学，还收到了袋鼠数学亚洲营发来的邀请函，他们将在这个暑假有机会接受国际知名的数学家亲身指导，并与来自亚洲地区的优秀选手进行同台竞技和交流，共赴一场精彩的数学盛宴！
