In Grade 1 math, we are currently studying numbers 1 – 10 and the concepts of “more” and “less”. In Singapore math, all concepts are studied using 1) manipulatives, 2) pictorial images / models, and 3) as abstract concepts. This three step process helps students to grasp even difficult mathematical concepts and makes math fun and accessible for all students. Lessons are a mix of electronic whiteboard work, manipulatives, and workbook practice. Grade 1 students are doing a great job of understanding these fundamental mathematical concepts.
