P4-P5 | End of Year Holiday & Semester 1 Registration Now Open!

Next year, our current P4 students will face their first high-difficulty, large scaled Math Olympiad competition - NMOS, with some also participating in RMO and APMOPS. These competitions serve as crucial platforms for students to validate their learning and showcase their abilities, while also providing significant advantages for DSA applications. Notably, students selected for the IMSO national team can even receive direct offers from NUSH. To prepare, students must use this holiday period to systematically complete their Math Olympiad knowledge points, aligning their studies more closely with such competition content as well as difficulty levels, thereby enhancing their competitiveness in these prestigious contests.

Why Parents Choose Kangaroo Study?

1. Achievement Highlights
Since joining Kangaroo Study, our P4 to P6 students have consistently achieved outstanding results in various primary school mathematics Olympiads across Singapore. Many students have actively participated in competitions such as NMOS, APMOPS, and RMO, performing exceptionally well. Between 2023 and 2025, they earned numerous Gold and Platinum awards, with many advancing to the finals and one even claiming the top spot nationwide.



2. Feedback from Parents
Here are some genuine feedback from parents about our P4 teachers. Their engaging classes have earned widespread praise, with many parents sharing that their children enjoy learning here, have developed a strong interest in mathematics, and have shown significant improvement in their performance. Every word of encouragement serves as our motivation to continually refine and enhance our courses.



How to Prepare Students?

1. Knowledge Sector

The two most heavily tested modules in NMOS are word problems and geometry, accounting for nearly 50% of the exam.

For word problems, questions on fractions and ratios are common in NMOS, RMO, and APMOPS. These include calculations with fractions and percentages, ratios problems, ratio word problems, classic fraction word problems, and complex fraction applications (work problems, travel problems, mixture problems, etc.). In geometry, the focus will be on angle problems and proportional models which are the key challenging topics in P5.

To prepare for next year's competitions, we will begin introducing ratios, ratio word problems, and percentage word problems during the holidays. After mastering these concepts, students will have covered all foundational knowledge on fractions, percentages, and ratios. Subsequent lessons will build on this foundation, gradually progressing to more advanced and difficult problem types.

2. Thinking Sector

As the three major Math Olympiad competitions approach, the difficulty level of our studies will increase significantly. This demands that we develop strong Olympiad problem-solving mindsets and strategies that give us an edge - such as model thinking, extreme case analysis, optimization concepts, transformation and induction techniques. Once these thinking methods are properly developed, students will have clear approaches and strategies for tackling difficult problems. However, cultivating these thinking skills requires considerable time, making this holiday period's intensive study the golden opportunity to develop them. We must seize this chance for focused training.

3. Time Planning

The NMOS exam covers a wide range of topics, from the Chickens and Rabbit problems learned in P2 to advanced geometric models like the Butterfly model and Swallowtail model taught in P5. Therefore, comprehensive and systematic revision before the actual exam is necessary. With NMOS scheduled for mid-July, the final golden revision period falls during the June holidays. We will complete the learning and consolidation of all foundational knowledge in P5 Semester 1, accompanied by systematic practice exercises. This preparation will enable P5 students to conduct thorough module-by-module revision during the June holidays, helping them significantly improve both their mathematical abilities and problem-solving techniques.

Kangaroo Study's P4 Curriculum

After analyzing high-frequency topics from the three major Olympiads over the past decade and aligning them with current learning objectives, we have planned the following study content for our end of year holiday courses, as well as the first semester at the beginning of next year:

The modules learnt are as below：

1. Calculation and Word Problems —— Polishing basics

In the final holiday period for P4, students will learn common problem-solving methods for word problems - specifically solving word problems by setting up equations - to prepare for more challenging word problems in P5. At the same time, for proportional word problems where the equation method is often ineffective, after systematically studying ratios and proportions, we will focus on proportional word problems as they are high-frequency topics in all three major Olympiads. Building on this foundation, we will further cover more difficult work-rate problems and solving travel problems using proportional methods.

2. Geometry and Counting —— Building foundation on key points

During the holiday period, we will focus on two key areas of geometry and combinatorics: the equal height model and permutations & combinations. In primary school Olympiad geometry, there are five fundamental geometric models that are essential for all competitions, with the equal height model being the foundation. Mastering this model is crucial for excelling in primary-level Olympiad geometry. In the P5 spring term, we will build upon the equal-altitude model by exploring its extensions—such as the bird's head, butterfly, and swallowtail models—and expand our study to include solid geometry.

Permutations and combinations serve as essential tools for solving complex counting problems, which often appear as high-difficulty finale questions in competitions. During this year-end holiday, we will establish a strong foundation in these challenging Olympiad topics. In the spring, we will further advance into higher-level permutation and combination concepts and learn to apply them to solve geometric counting problems. This structured approach ensures students develop both fundamental and advanced problem-solving skills necessary for competition success.

3. Number Theory and Mixed Problems —— Cultivate Olympiad thinking

In P4 Spring, we studied the basic concepts of factors and multiples. During the mid-year break and Autumn term, we systematically learned divisibility rules. Building on this foundation, in the P4 year-end holiday we will further explore comprehensive applications of factors and multiples to solve complex problems combining these two topics. This will develop children's ability to tackle challenging number theory problems and truly master the skills to solve difficult questions by applying knowledge flexibly.

Course Outline

To ensure that children can make the most of their holiday time, our courses are scheduled in two separate sessions. Each session covers the same content, so students only need to enroll in one session without attending multiple times.



Each term offers flexible scheduling to meet different students' needs. The current course schedule is specially arranged for Kangaroo Study's existing students, who will enjoy priority registration until 11:59PM on August 24 (Sunday). After this date, registration will be open to all students.





We encourage our current students to register early to secure their spot in class.

Meet Our Teachers


Tr. Yi Jie
Graduated from Universiti Sains Malaysia with a major in Applied Statistics, Teacher Yi Jie brings both strong subject knowledge and a deep passion for teaching. With two years of experience, he has a unique ability to break down complex ideas and turn them into something relatable for students.
