The Singapore math method is focused on mastery, which is achieved through the intentional sequencing of concepts.

About

Singapore Math

 

Singapore Math Class, a highly acclaimed approach to mathematics education that has gained recognition worldwide for its effectiveness in developing students’ mathematical proficiency and problem-solving skills. This class is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in mathematical concepts and foster a deep understanding of mathematical principles.

 

In our Singapore Math Class, students will engage in a dynamic and interactive learning environment. Our experienced instructors will guide students through a carefully structured curriculum that follows the Singapore Math methodology, which emphasizes a concrete-pictorial-abstract (CPA) approach. This approach enables students to build a strong conceptual understanding of mathematical concepts before moving on to abstract representations.

 

Throughout the course, students will explore a wide range of topics, including number sense, arithmetic operations, algebraic thinking, geometry, measurement, and data analysis. They will develop problem-solving skills through hands-on activities, model drawing, and real-life applications. Our instructors will encourage critical thinking, logical reasoning, and metacognitive skills, empowering students to think mathematically and solve complex problems with confidence.

Why?

So how is it different from the way math is widely taught in Canada/U.S?

In typical math programs, students get a worked example, then solve problems by repeating all the same steps with different numbers. In Singapore math, students must think through concepts and apply them in new ways. Students are pushed to greater engagement and broader thinking. 

  • Concrete Stage:
    In this stage, the teacher leads an activity. Kids learn by observing everyday concrete objects, such as donuts, LEGO, food, and many others as they count, sort, pattern, graph, estimate and discover relations through methodology of Singapore Math.
  • Pictorial Stage:
    Students are shown a visual representation of the problem. They then relate these objects into pictorial form such as blocks and numbers, which transforms into abstract forms such as model drawing.
  • Abstract Stage:
    Students are then shown an equation of the problem.
