Math in Focus
Math in Focus provides an authentic Singapore math curriculum, highlighting problem solving as the focus of mathematical learning. This complete program teaches concepts using a concrete-pictorial-abstract learning progression to anchor learning in real-world and hands-on experiences. Each topic is approached with the expectation that students will understand both "how" it works, and also "why."
  • Supports the goals of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics
  • Research-based pedagogy focuses on learning, discussion, and practice
  • Balances conceptual understanding, visual learning, and problem solving
  • Applying concepts and skills builds real-world problem solvers
