Kangaroo Study S1 Math Term 2 & 3 Registration Guide

1. Solving the 3 Major Challenges of all S1 Students

After entering Secondary Math, many students encounter difficulties in their learning, Here are the 3 major challenges that all S1 students will encounter:

1). Secondary Math is Much More Difficult than Primary Math
    Secondary 1 students struggle with Math due to these reasons:

2). Schools Test Harder than What is Taught

3). Knowledge is Linked, Students Can’t Catch Up

2. How Kangaroo.Study Solves These Three Major Challenges

1) file:////Users/yangxiaojie/Library/Group%20Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/TemporaryItems/msohtmlclip/clip_image007.jpgHow to Truly Master Secondary School Knowledge?

a. Understand Concepts and Ask “Why”
Students must deeply understand concepts rather than just memorizing formulas. Our lessons are prepared thoroughly to ensure that students discover the answers through interaction.

Teachers promote active questioning for each concept. At Kangaroo Study, we use a structured approach—"What is it?" → "Why is it?" → "How to apply it?"—to ensure true comprehension.

Understanding concepts is not enough; students must apply them through consistent practice. We provide exercises, daily practice, and "explanation homework," where students teach concepts to their parents to reinforce learning.

2). How to Achieve Good Results in Exams?

a. Learn Deeply and Tackle Challenging Content
Schools vary in difficulty, so students should go beyond their textbooks and challenge themselves with advanced problems. Our curriculum includes top school past papers and SMO-level questions to build confidence and readiness for IP/ O-Levels, and a foundation for Math Olympiad.

b. Learn Early
Learning Early helps students build a strong foundation before school starts. This allows them to focus on advanced topics during the school year instead of struggling with basics.

At Kangaroo Study, we ensure deep understanding through structured lessons and questioning, consistent practice, exposure to challenging problems, and early preparation to build a strong foundation.

5. Teaching Approach

(1) Three Key Features

① Parents Can Observe Classes:
Each enrolled student may bring one parent to sit in during lessons. Parents can observe their child's learning progress, take notes, and understand the course content, provided they do not disrupt the class.

② Refund Policy:
Students may withdraw from the course at any time and receive a proportional refund.

③ Dual-Teacher Classroom:
Each class has a lead teacher and a teaching assistant. The lead teacher delivers the lesson, while the assistant tracks student progress and provides updates of the lesson

(2) Teaching Principles

① Guidance,Not Pushing

• Never directly provide solutions to problems.
• Never force students to memorize formulas mechanically.
• Ensure every student understands the reasoning behind methods.
  
  

② Without Understanding, No Leaving
Students must correct the following before leaving:
ii. Homework
iii. Classwork exercises
iv. Post-class test

③ Sense of Achievement

• Never blame students for making mistakes.
• Never question students' abilities.
• Foster Student’s interest in learning through encouragement and praise
