Year-End Maths Holiday Programmes
Work on this year’s gaps. Start strong for next year.
Two holiday programmes with Teacher Elaine. Math Recovery in November closes the gaps in this year’s work, and Math Headstart from 30 November prepares your child for next year. Both run at our Bukit Timah studio or online.
MathArchery runs two year-end maths holiday programmes in Bukit Timah, Singapore, with Teacher Elaine. Math Recovery is for Primary 3, 4 and 5 (in 2026). Share with us your child’s exam paper. We identify areas of weakness and plan 2-hour recovery sessions, Monday to Friday from 2 to 30 November 2026, at 3pm to 5pm or 5pm to 7pm. Math Headstart is for Primary 4, 5 and 6 (in 2027). Three lessons, Monday to Wednesday, between 30 November and 16 December 2026, prepare your child for some of the new concepts, problem-solving techniques and higher-order thinking of the next level. Both are open to any primary school student.

Why use the year-end holiday for maths?
Nothing new is coming. The exams are over. Your child can work on one idea at a time, with no new lessons to keep up with.
The paper is still fresh. A recent marked paper shows us what your child was thinking.
Maths builds on itself. Each level assumes the one before it. Holiday time on last year’s gaps, or next year’s new topics, is time the new term does not have.
Sometimes it just takes something to click in a child’s mind. The holidays give your child the time for that, and a child can improve from there.
Which of these sounds like your child?
The tag on each card shows which programme fits.
The paper came back with marks lost on topics your child had practised
Usually an idea that was never quite secure, more than carelessness.
You keep hearing the word careless
We find out whether the marks went to slips, or to something underneath.
Maths was fine until this year
Primary 4 and 5 ask a lot more of a child. The paper shows us which topics are the cause.
Your child did well and wants harder questions
We work on next year’s topics with harder questions, including non-routine ones.
Everyone says the next level is a big jump
Your child meets the new topics before school teaches them.
PSLE is next year
P6 Headstart: Average, Ratio, Circles and Algebra, with curated questions from the past PSLE Ten-Year Series and school papers.

Parents on our weekly classes.
“…teacher Elaine helped her to love the subject so much that she is now asking me to sign her up for year end math to learn more before school lessons. My daughter is now much more confident and does not delay doing her math homework.”
“She is an incredibly patient and thorough math tutor who has made a huge difference in my son’s learning. Her teaching style is clear and methodical, ensuring that my son fully understands each concept before moving on.”
Questions parents ask
Should my child join Recovery or Headstart?
Recovery closes the gaps in this year’s work, and Headstart prepares ahead for next year. If this year’s paper showed weak areas, start with Recovery. Not sure? Share the paper with us and we tell you what we see.
Can my child do both?
Yes, and several families do. Recovery runs 2 to 30 November. The first Headstart run starts on 30 November, so finish Recovery first and choose a later run if needed.
When are the dates?
Math Recovery: Monday to Friday, 2 to 30 November 2026, 3pm to 5pm or 5pm to 7pm. Math Headstart: Monday to Wednesday, 30 November to 2 December, 7 to 9 December and, for P6, 14 to 16 December 2026.
What does each one cost?
Math Recovery: $270 for 3 sessions of 2 hours. Math Headstart: $320 for P4, $360 for P5 and P6, for 3 lessons. Both cover all materials, with no registration fee.
How big are the classes?
Small groups, as in our weekly classes, so Teacher Elaine can give each child attention. Places in each run are limited.
Can my child join if they are not a MathArchery student?
Yes. Both programmes are open to any primary school student.
Who teaches the holiday programmes?
Teacher Elaine, the founder of MathArchery, coaches both. She has 10 years of experience teaching Primary and Secondary Mathematics, and a Specialist Diploma in Specific Learning Differences.
Where are the classes held?
At our studio, 9 King Albert Park #02-22, KAP Mall, Bukit Timah. King Albert Park MRT (DT6) is about 10 minutes’ walk away, largely sheltered. Your child can also join online.
