Abstract

The research analyzed problems in Math Kangaroo (5&6) with a content analysis method from four aspects: problem background, knowledge structure, cognitive structure and thinking mode. There were several detailed analysis indicators for each aspect. The research results show that the problems in Math Kangaroo have the following characteristics: the pictures are beautifully presented, the backgrounds are natural and interesting, and it does not deviate from the essence of mathematics; the knowledge points are not much, but a deep understanding is required; mathematical thinking and problem analysis are needed. Th enlightenment is: good problems are problems that the problem solving process should help improve students' thinking ability and they should be solved by serious thinking.
