Instead of learning rote procedures and formulas, children master concepts by following five distinct chapter sections based on the Singapore Math Approach:1) Thinking Platform: Functional questions that direct students’ thinking to key subjects and that cultivate their cognitive skills;
2) Attaining Mastery: Consecutive mathematical problems using the same framework but alternating key words to highlight the differences between examples and ensure that students learn and retain their new skills;
3) Notes: Suggestions on correcting errors, simplifying a concept, or enhancing learning;
4) Summative Test: Practice for students to recap what they learned throughout the chapter;
5) Think Out of the Box!: Challenging word problems that stretch students’ ability to apply the concepts they learned.
