Kangaroo on the chessboard as a didactical tool

Original language description

The level of mathematical literacy can be significantly increased by means of board games as for example chess. Solving mathematical chess problems can develop combinatorial skills of pupils aged 6-11. Mathematical chess problems use chessboard or chess pieces. We will focus on a special piece named kangaroo that was introduced in the competition Mathematical Kangaroo. We will deal, among the others, with the domination problem of kangaroo, the independence problem of kangaroo and the kangaroo tour problem. These problems have been already solved for 4×4 and 6×6 chessboards in the previous papers, so we will be interested in 5×5 chessboard. The reduced chessboard is used because a smaller chessboard seems to be more accessible to pupils aged 6 to 11.
