Why Parents Choose Kangaroo Study ?

1. Achievement Highlights

Since Kangaroo Study established its presence in Singapore, our lower primary students have consistently achieved outstanding results across various mathematics competitions for three consecutive years.

In this year’s SASMO competition, all four participating P1 students received awards, including three silver medals and one bronze medal, achieving a 100% award rate. P2 students secured three gold medals and one silver medal, while the P3 Exploration class achieved a remarkable clean sweep of gold medals, with a 100% gold rate.

2. Feedback from Parents

Here is some genuine feedback from parents about Mr. Smith. His engaging classes have earned widespread praise. Many parents shared 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.

What Will Students Learn in P2?

P1 is the first year for students transitioning from preschool to formal schooling. Over the course of the year, they have adapted to a more structured classroom environment, learned basic rules, and developed an initial awareness of study habits—along with foundational skills in calculation and logic.

Kangaroo.Study’s lower-primary Mathematics Enrichment curriculum covers key topics from the GEP (Gifted Education Programme) and lower-primary competition exams. This program not only helps students excel during their early primary years, but also lays a strong foundation for advanced problem-solving in the years ahead.

Although the current GEP model has been largely phased out, under the new policy, one round of the exam remains, with similar content but slightly reduced difficulty. Therefore, GEP test points continue to be a major focus of our learning plan.

To help students build a solid foundation in mathematics, we will progressively enhance their calculation skills, problem-solving abilities, and logical thinking through three key areas: number sense development, word problem mastery, and thinking exercises.

1. Calculation – Building Number Sense
Instead of relying on repetitive drills, we teach multiplication and division concepts through real-life contexts to deepen understanding. In Semester 1, topics like speedy calculations and smart operator use strengthen number sense.

2. Word Problems – Core Skill Building
This module bridges the gap between numbers and language, helping students interpret and solve real-world problems. Semester 1 expands into unique problem types such as tree planting and queue arrangements, fostering diagram-based problem-solving skills.

3. Miscellaneous Problems – Thinking & Fun
From one-stroke drawings to pattern games, students enhance logic, observation, and creativity while discovering the joy of mathematics.

How Do We Help Students Excel in Mathematical Thinking?

1.Teaching Through Models

Our teachers identify problem types based on key characteristics, and then teach the corresponding solving strategies—forming “models” that guide students in correctly applying the methods they’ve learned.

2.Guided Discovery

Instead of simply providing answers, our teachers encourage students to think for themselves, pinpoint the crux of the problem, and derive conclusions independently—helping them understand not just what works, but why it works.

3.Sparking Interest

We integrate real-life examples into lessons to demonstrate how mathematics applies in everyday contexts. By using guided problem-solving, we allow students to experience the satisfaction of conquering challenges themselves. This builds intrinsic motivation, making them eager to learn.

4.Building Good Study Habits

Through daily homework feedback, regular progress reviews, and parent-teacher meetings, our teachers help students develop consistent review habits and effective problem-solving methods—achieving more with less effort.

Course Outline   

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

Below are the syllabus for our end of holiday courses, as well as the curriculum for the first semester at the beginning of next year:

Below are our holiday course schedule and the schedule for the first semester at the beginning of next year. Existing KLC students will enjoy priority registration until 11:59 PM 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 Teacher

Tr. Smith has over four years of experience teaching mathematics and computer science. Leveraging this interdisciplinary background, he excels at transforming abstract and complex concepts into clear, easy-to-follow steps and thinking pathways that children can readily grasp.

As the head of our Lower Primary teaching team and the lead instructor for P1 and P2 Olympiad courses, Mr. Smith has long guided students in preparing for key entry competitions such as GEP selection, SASMO, and SMKC, helping them build a solid mathematical foundation. Beyond his strong professional expertise, he is skilled at creating a vibrant yet well-structured classroom environment—balancing warmth with discipline, and encouraging students to express themselves confidently and think critically.

How To Enroll?

All students are required to complete a placement test before enrolling.

This allows our team to assess the child’s current level and recommend the most suitable class.
