course description：
Singapore Math is an ideal curriculum for American-born children, offering flexible materials that address Western math problems while retaining the challenges of Eastern math. It emphasizes a systematic and holistic framework, helping children develop a strong “number sense” for advanced mathematics. Unlike other textbooks, Singapore Math uses Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) models to simplify concepts, enhancing logical reasoning, application, and modeling skills. Aligning with national standards, it ensures comprehensive skill coverage and structured progression. Its focus on problem-solving techniques encourages critical thinking and innovative solutions, fostering a deeper appreciation for mathematics. By focusing on mastery, students gain confidence, paving the way for success in advanced math.
