Singapore Math is a teaching method based on the primary textbooks and syllabus from the national curriculum of Singapore. These textbooks have a consistent and strong emphasis on problem solving and model drawing, with a focus on in-depth understanding of the essential math skills
The Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) is an international assessment of the mathematics and science knowledge of fourth grade and eighth grade students around the world. TIMSS was developed by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) to allow participating nations to compare students' educational achievement across borders.
Problem Solving Strategies
There are numerous approaches to solving math problems. 'Model Drawing' is the first one that we have introduced because we feel that it has the greatest impact in building children's confidence in dealing with math problems. Most students enjoy visual effects. Seeing abstract relationships, represented by concrete and colourful images, helps in understanding, leading to the solution of the problem. Our section on Model Drawing is by no means exhaustive but it will open a new doorway for the student who has been struggling with math problems.
Besides the Model-Drawing Approach there are several other strategies, which are necessary for the student to master, to achieve proficiency in math problem solving. In our next section, we introduce the important and most useful ones. These are:
1) Draw a Picture
2) Look for a Pattern
3) Guess and Check
4) Make a Systematic List
5) Logical Reasoning
6) Work Backwards
The student may also come across problems which may need the use of more than one strategy before a solution can be found.
Our Approach
The SMtutors.com Singapore Math uses Model Drawing or the 'Visual Method' in its approach to problem solving:
This method helps the student to 'see' and understand the problem better through the use of the model.
Animation is used to enhance, explain and convey, both math concepts and solutions, to the young learners.
The organization of the lessons is based on the following basic principles of teaching:
Teach from the known to the unknown.
Teach from the simple to the complex.
Teach from the concrete to the abstract.
