A good fit for Primary Day Concept Mastery Math in Focus – American version of Singapore
Math (excellent resources)
Why Singapore Math?
• Highly Scaffolded Curriculum: Math in Focus adapts instruction to the needs of individual learners through scaffolding (gradually remove the supports as the learner masters the task)
Implementation: Math in Focus
Implementation: Concepts
The sequence of topics has been carefully constructed based upon child development theory.
Primary Grades focus on foundational concepts: basic facts, place value, mental math, algebraic thinking, geometry concepts, spatial visualization* (pictorial)
Problem solving and data analysis throughout the program
Counting Numbers to 100 Order Shapes Classifying and Sorting Calendar Patterns Addition and Subtraction Stories
Pre-K: Building a Strong Foundation
Number Sense to 100 Number Bonds 1-12 Mastery of Addition and Subtraction Concepts Ordinal Numbers and Position Mental Math Strategies Introduce Place Value, Money, Time, and Graphs
Kindergarten: Mastering Basics
Part-Part-WholeNumberBonding
Mastery: Place Value and Number Sense Numbers to 1,000 Base Ten Block Patterns Addition and Subtraction with Regrouping Mental Math and Estimation
Introduced: Time and Money Fractions Measurement Graphing Geometry Problem Solving
First Grade: Exploring New Concepts

Enhances the learning experience and offers ways to communicate, collaborate, and create
Integrated technology
Math is developmental! Two goals:
Content Flexible grouping – small groups Pre-assessment Resources Differentiation Resources: Extra Practice, Reteach, and Enrichment opportunities provided for every lesson
Process Stations for independent learners Activities for visual, kinesthetic and auditory learners Activities that vary in complexity Cross-curricular
Enrichment Class: Critical thinking essential to any math curriculum Develop spatial and logical reasoning over their four years “Games” (cooperative activities) learning tools, assessment, drill
Differentiation
