Kangaroo Math Benchmark: German Math Competition Problems, 1998-2025

A German-language benchmark dataset from the official Känguru der Mathematik competition materials covering 1998 to 2025. It contains multiple-choice mathematical reasoning problems for school grade levels 3 through 13, with explicit visual grounding in diagrams and geometric figures. The dataset was created by DFKI-SLT and last updated on the platform in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking mathematical reasoning models based on curriculum-aligned multiple-choice problems.
• Analyzing problem difficulty and reasoning patterns by year and grade group as mentioned in the description.
• Training or evaluating multimodal AI systems based on the described visual grounding with diagrams and spatial arrangements.
• Studying the evolution of educational content in German mathematics competitions over the 1998-2025 period.

Strengths

• Covers a long time range from 1998 to 2025, enabling longitudinal analysis.
• Problems are aligned with school curriculum for grades 3-13, providing structured difficulty levels.
• Includes explicit visual grounding elements like diagrams and geometric figures, as stated in the description.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale training.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and completeness require manual inspection.
