Singapore math approach helps our Kindergarten scholars to build a strong foundation in mathematics through fun-filled lessons and activities. Scholars are able to actively participate through hands-on tasks and meaningful activities. First, we encounter a concept through the use of manipulatives. Manipulatives may include, counters, linking cubes, number cards, five or ten frames, dice, and many more. Then, we move on to the pictorial stage in which pictures are used to model problems. Last, when students are familiar with the ideas taught, we progress to a more advanced or abstract stage in which only numbers, notations, and symbols are used. Each day our scholars progress through this methodology. We use our practice books to support both our pictorial and abstract learning. We check their work daily, praise their successes, support their misunderstandings, and ask questions to solidify their learning and understanding of the content area.
