EARLY CHILDHOOD MATHEMATICS

Aligned with the standards adopted by the California Department of Education, Earlybird Kindergarten Mathematics (Standards Edition) forms the foundation level for Primary Mathematics (Standards Edition), and follows the same pedagogical approach based on the research-based and results-proven Singapore model method.

This is a visual curriculum well suited for English language learners. The mathematical concepts are developed in a systematic, engaging and fun way based on theConcrete Pictorial Abstract and spiral approaches of Singapore Maths.

This programme aims to prepare pupils for subsequent stages of mathematical thinking. It includes:• Attractive illustrations rich in mathematical content to capture children’s attention and promote the learning of Mathematics in a fun and lively manner.• Meaningful tasks that allow children to understand concepts in the context of real-life applications.• Several lessons for every unit, each with a focused learnin g outcome. Detailed teaching notes help teachers develop the lesson systematically.

• Activities and practice exercises that are carefully introduced to build understanding and consolidate mathematical concepts and skills.

Refer to Marshall Cavendish Primary Catalogue for Math in Focus Grades 1 to 5.

This is an elementary Mathematics programme for Kindergarten through Grade 5. Based on Singapore’s top-ranking, research based teaching methodology, this highly effective programme is closely aligned with the Common Core State Standards (USA).

Math in Focus helps children build a solid conceptual understanding through the use of manipulative materials and visual models. Computational skills develop from this conceptual understanding and are reinforced through practice. As fl uency in skills increases, understanding is reinforced in turn.

A simple introduction to the concept before moving on to the teaching of the main skill.

In Counting Small Numbers,

Children learn to recite the numbers 1 to 10 in sequence and to recognise their corresponding numerals.

Using the Concrete Pictorial Abstract approach, children have various opportunities to practise their skills in a progressive manner.

Next, children learn to count up to 5.

Children are given opportunities to transfer the skills learned in Steps 1 and 2 to more challenging situations.

Finally, children learn not only to count to 10, but to do so in multiples of 2. This prepares them for counting bigger numbers more effi ciently at a later stage.
